Sculpture is the time of solidification. People who play sculpture can travel freely in time and space. The anti-African memorial sculpture permanently solidified that shocking history at the water's edge of the West Lake. Qu, the sculptor who made this sculpture and a teacher of China Academy of Fine Arts, wandered in Hangzhou again six months ago because of this sculpture, and wandered in Hangzhou with great courage and care. Qu said that this sculpture is a sculpture of strength. Two months ago, Qu got the final plan of anti-non-memorial sculpture. Next, what he has to do is to turn the design on this piece of paper into a touching and exquisite sculpture. The sculpture is heavy and should be placed by the West Lake. Qu said frankly that the pressure is really not small. Yesterday, the "2003 National Symposium on Prevention and Control of SARS" was held in Hangzhou. In order to complete the sculpture on this special day, Qu and the producers worked hard. After the pre-creativity is completed, the real post-production time is very tight, only 15 days. This is a miracle. A few drafts conceived before were originally given to Qu, but only a four-handed pattern, which was designed by the citizens themselves. It takes a process to turn the scheme into a sculpture, because sculpture has its own language, which is different from graphic painting.
The sculpture in front of us now was decided after repeated consideration and careful drafting. Finally, the song takes the form of modern sculpture, uses relief art to deal with patterns, and uses granite as texture, because granite is the hardest, which symbolizes the courage of Hangzhou people to fight SARS with one heart and one mind and is rock-solid. The sculpture is an open book, which means that this touching page of history will be recorded forever. Why did you change it several times? In addition to the inherent meaning and modeling of the sculpture itself, we should also consider a very important factor, that is, the location of the sculpture, and the West Lake is very special. Qu said that the final sculpture, regardless of color and texture, is simple and natural, so that it can be integrated with the West Lake and the surrounding natural environment. The plan of "Hope" to show Hangzhou's non-sculpture talents was publicly solicited from the society, and the final plan "Hope" was selected by an ordinary citizen. As a professional, Qu praised the sixth plan. "This scheme is very aura and artistic, which shows that Hangzhou people have certain artistic talent, and the designer's attention and understanding of the whole anti-African incident is also in place." Qu said that "hope" is interspersed in the main meaning of fighting SARS, such as the formation of a V-shaped arm, which is a symbol of victory. Four hands together, from the composition point of view, there is a density relationship, close relationship, great strength, artistic elements in all aspects are good.
15 days to create a sculpture miracle. From receiving the plan to the final completion, the time from the canal to dawn is only two months, and the time is very tight. If you make a careful calculation, the pre-creative and manuscript-easy process accounts for more than half, and the time really left for post-production is very short, only 15 days. "In the past two days, our producers have worked overtime every day, often until four or five in the morning." Qu said it was a miracle. Qu once made a large-scale artistic relief for Changsha Golden Eagle Festival, leaving many iconic urban sculptures in big cities such as Shanghai, Shenzhen, Anhui and Jiangsu, which is quite famous in the national sculpture field. The urban sculptures at the intersection of Hangzhou and the entrance of Binjiang District Government are also Qu's masterpieces. Talking about the difference from previous works, Qu said that the anti-African memorial sculpture is a commemorative sculpture, which embodies deeper connotation and records more things. Anti-Africa memorial sculpture is a kind of power released by Hangzhou people in the process of fighting SARS, which is very commendable.
