Cape (127,23) 

凜凜(127, 23)

Graphite, pastel, acrylic board

127 x 21 x 6.6 cm

2026

作品以藝術家十三歲時繪畫的一幅超人圖畫為起點,僅抽取當中的披風輪廓,並將其變形、拉伸至兒時身高,再把披風轉寫於膠板上,同時把同尺寸的膠板層疊至兒時體重,讓物料充當並重現兒時身體,亦作為圖像本身的載體。題目中「(127,23)」分別為藝術家兒時的身高與體重。


The work takes as its starting point a drawing of Superman made by the artist at the age of thirteen, then isolating only the outline of the cape. The cape is then deformed and extended to the artist’s childhood height before being transferred onto an acrylic board. Boards of the same dimensions are stacked up to the artist’s childhood weight, so that the material both embodies and represents the childhood body, while also serving as the body of the image itself. The numbers “(127, 23)” in the title refer respectively to the artist’s height and weight as a child.
