If you were asked, what are the things that come with romantic attributes in this world, and what would you think? In Xiao Dai's view, flowers, diamonds and snow scenes must be very high. No one would refuse a bouquet of flowers, a sparkling diamond, and a vast and pure fairy tale world, their preciousness has nothing to do with value, what matters is the feeling.
In the winter, everyone is most looking forward to the snow day, when it is very cold, we can't help but laugh at this: "Cooling without snow is a hooligan", which also shows that as long as it snows, the cold temperature can be ignored. Most of the happiest events in winter are related to snow, building snowmen, snowball fights, skiing, etc., even adults can have fun in them, as if they have suddenly changed back into children.
To say where the winter is the best, it has to be Northern Europe, the winter in Northern Europe is particularly long, and some areas can even be as long as 7 months, where people love to play with snow, and they are better at playing with snow, not only playing with happiness, but also playing with art. The artist that Xiao Dai wants to introduce to you next is from Northern Europe, but he is not playing with snow, but clay.
Born and raised in Finland, the artist was chiem Simonson, an artist who inadvertently became indissoluble with art when he was very young, playing with his playmates, when children of the same age were building snowmen, and Kim Simmondson made a Donald Duck model, and from that day on, he developed a strong interest in sculpture and gradually grew into a professional sculpture artist.
In Northern Europe, like the ice kingdom, Kim Simundsen does not play with snow, but falls in love with the earth, which is not incredible? Although the artist plays with soil, the artist uses clay to create a moss-like effect, and his life-size children's sculptures, as if covered with green moss, are placed in a natural environment, giving people a unique look.
It is understood that this series of works by Kim Simmondson is inspired by Nordic fairy tales and folklore, and through such works, he hopes to convey a childlike sense of miracle. In his view, children represent the future, hope and vitality. Although the meaning is beautiful, many people see the artist's work and feel a strong sense of uneasiness and discomfort, these life-size "moss people" haunt late at night, deep in the jungle and in the ruins, and the eerie scenes make people's backs chill.
How did an artist create such a work? It turned out that Kim Simmondson first made a model out of ceramic clay, then burned the model to 1200 degrees Celsius, then painted with color, and finally flocked with nylon fibers to create a moss-like texture. The artist combines traditional ceramic craftsmanship with classically inspired forms of ceramic sculpture, giving clay a new soul to the material.
Next, let's enjoy the "Moss Man" sculpture created by this talented sculpture artist.
