Artist statement
"Life and Death Series 1: LAPIN, Red Bird, and AK47 (Sparkle Edition)" is a captivating and thought-provoking sculpture, serving as the poignant conclusion of the esteemed art series that made its debut at the Munich exhibition in 2015.
Upon first glance, the scene of a tender bunny cradling a little bird evokes a heartwarming and intriguing sentiment. However, the profound contrast is heightened by the presence of an AK47 rifle positioned behind the bunny, leaving viewers to contemplate its significance. The sculpture embodies a striking contradiction, where elements of life, innocence, and beauty intertwine with symbols of violence, death, and conflict.
With a touch of humor, the artwork delves into the complexities of existence, tackling the timeless question of the coexistence of violence and mortality. The juxtaposition of delicate and menacing elements sparks a compelling narrative, inviting audiences to explore the intricacies of the human experience.
In crafting the sculpture, the artist draws inspiration from classical sculptures, seamlessly blending contemporary techniques with the grace, proportions, and elegance reminiscent of antiquity. This masterful fusion of past and present creates a profound connection between the viewer and the artwork, as it speaks to the enduring themes of life and death.
"Life and Death Series 1: LAPIN, Red Bird, and AK47 (Sparkle Edition)" represents a powerful and skillful exploration of the human condition, offering a striking reflection on the complexities of existence and the interplay between life's beauty and life's darkness.
