‘我的意图是要做一件轻柔并能启发人们思考的艺术品—有着优雅的结构并和周围环境融为一体，能为未来的居民们们带来愉悦的观赏体验。’ – 艺术家Richard Sweeney

从大自然得到灵感启发，这位伦敦艺术家错综复杂的雕塑作品所带来的优雅和壮观受世人赞扬。艺术家Sweeney受到UAP的邀请为郑州普罗理想国打造一件定制雕塑作品。名为‘映像’，这件作品即吸引眼球又有实际作用 – 它是整个环境中的亮点、令人着迷的艺术品，同时也是公众聚集点并为人们提供了遮阳的作用。

“My intention overall was to produce a piece with a gentle, contemplative quality – a graceful structure that appears at one with its environment, which I hope will give much pleasure to future residents and visitors.” – Richard Sweeney

Drawing inspiration from nature, London-based artist Richard Sweeney is regarded world-round for his intricate modular paper sculptures of spectacular elegance and form. Sweeney was engaged by UAP to create a bespoke sculptural commission for Province Midtown in Zhengzhou, China. Titled Reflection, Sweeney’s artwork is both appealing and pragmatic – a beautiful intervention in space which is at once sun shelter, communal meeting space and captivating artwork.

艺术品的规模令人震撼，这一温和优雅的结构贯穿了超过12 × 11米的空间，这是艺术家Richard Sweeney目前为止规模最大的永久艺性术品。通过实验和探索的设计方法，这次合作使艺术家跨出了他典型的材料，通过对镜面不锈钢的利用实现了同样优雅的形态。‘映像’展示了艺术家经典的曲线打褶技巧，也是受到自然形态和运动的启发对运动和流动性的抽象诠释。

At an inspiring scale, the gentle and graceful structure spans more than 12 by 11 metres, making it Sweeney’s largest permanent sculptural work to date. Embracing an explorative and experimental approach to design, the collaboration has enabled Sweeney’s practice to branch beyond the confines of his typical, ephemeral materials, realising an equally as elegant form in mirror polished stainless steel. Showcasing Sweeney’s signature curved pleating technique, Reflection is an abstract interpretation of movement and fluidity, inspired by natural forms and motion.
