我只想对你说一句话。只有一个词…塑料近50年后,“塑料业的伟大未来”终于来到了这里,“塑料的美好未来”将在纽约大卫·兹沃纳画廊(David Zwirner)展出,形式是德温·瓦伦丁(de Wain情人节)在聚酯树脂中的超凡脱俗的有机作品。
78岁的瓦伦丁说:“这一切都是关于天空碎片和海洋碎片的。”他在上世纪六、七十年代从家乡科罗拉多州来到洛杉矶后,观察了光彩夺目、精心打磨的各种造型。在那里,学生和他们的商店(工业艺术)老师们得到了用于军事用途的聚合物的合成产物。聚酯树脂使我能够将大气物化-把它以固体的形式呈现出来,看看它,然后说“这就是这件事”。
该剧有21幅作品,分布在四个房间里,连接着齐沃纳位于西19街的高天花板、宽阔的白色空间,其中包括“双金字塔”,它们类似巨大、多云的宝石和块状、斜面的戒指,看上去像是从巨型瓶子的顶部冒出来的(尤其是在海滩上的那个-玻璃般的蓝色灰色),但瓦伦丁大气中的灵感在他的圈子里是最明显的,也是最感人的。这些半透明的圆盘在它们纤细凸起的边缘上保持着平衡,是水和天空中巨大的一击样本,充满了沙子、太阳和朦胧的洛杉矶烟雾的痕迹。
多年来,瓦伦丁在夏威夷保留了第二间工作室,1970年的“蓝色烟雾循环”,一个由泥土污迹组成的纯粹的青色圆盘,在树脂中保存着韦亚雷亚湾的碎片。瓦朗蒂娜解释道:“你直视着那碧蓝的水,看到了底部的白色沙子,看到了点缀着的沙子。”“我能重新创造出其中的一部分,并站在边缘。”
艺术家对比例的关注出现在他的专栏中:从圆圈中生长出来的挤压棱镜。这些细长的雕塑在与人类的对话中向上延伸,在20世纪70年代中期人们喜欢的烟雾弥漫的灰色情人节中,人们注意到它们光滑的表面,通过一系列的砂纸磨砂把它们打磨得很亮,可以去除数千磅的树脂。他说,直到最后一次抛光,你才真正看到它们。
“De Wain在加利福尼亚结束了一段时间,当时许多艺术家正在寻找雕塑和装置的替代方式,他的专长不仅在当代艺术中创新,而且触动了他周围的许多艺术生涯,”Kristine Bell组织展览的人说。ST纽约调查瓦伦丁作品30年。这是一个需要在这里重述的故事,而且已经过期了。

Valentine's atmospheric inspiration is most apparent in his circles. Balanced jauntily on their slender, convex edges, these translucent discs are monumental punch samplings of water and sky, alive with traces of sand, sun, and hazy LA smog.

The artist's eye for proportion comes into view with his columns: extruded prisms that grow from the circles. These slender sculptures stretch upward in dialogue with the human form. Photography courtesy of the 2015 De Wain Valentine/Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York
'It's a story that needs to be retold here – and it's long overdue,' says exhibition organiser Kristine Bell. Photography courtesy of the 2015 De Wain Valentine/Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York
The exhibition will be on show at Zwirner's West 19th Street space until 7 August. Photography courtesy of the 2015 De Wain Valentine/Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York
