雕像 Statue — IdleBeats 爱豆笔此

<雕像>是Nini Sum在2016年底完成的丝网版画系列，讨论消逝中的原始文化与当代文明的关系。

原始部落的面孔们被小心的放置在平台上，安定。他们仿佛不约而同的从鲜活的生命中隐退，变成一件精美的收藏和装饰品。原始文化在摩登的当代社会似乎只需承载这样的功能 - 装点空间和不经意的提醒人们曾经存在过的生命多样性。

<Statue> is a screen print series created and hand pulled by Chinese artist Nini Sum in 2016.

The faded faces of indigenous peoples from ancient cultures are placed quietly and peacefully on an invisible surface. They appear like delicate collector items, people who have faded away from a vivid life in the real world. In modern society Ancient culture seems to only provide this kind of function - to decorate space and casually remind people that there once-existed a wide variety of human cultures.

The silkscreen medium plays an important role in the final look of this series, playing an equal role to its content. Nini is committed to producing each print meticulously from start to finish. Years of non-stop experimenting with printing methods allows her to dig deep into the essence of screen-printing as a language. For her its more than just reproducing images through a screen, it is how she can communicate in a truly artistic way.

Colours are hand-blended on the screen while printing, giving the texture and gradient a one-of-a-kind quality for each piece. Expressing herself through physical movement during printing, the artist marks each print with her unique human touch. This humanity contrasts with concept of faded people from lost worlds, adding a drop of warmth, hope and majesty to their faces.
