Hiro Ando's "Nishikigoi" sculptures are a testament to the artist's profound connection with Japanese culture and the rich symbolism associated with the koi fish. The koi, a revered and iconic symbol in Japanese folklore, is often associated with qualities like perseverance, transformation, and good fortune. Ando, drawing from this cultural reservoir, infuses his sculptures with layers of meaning that extend beyond the aesthetic.
The decision to use Japanese characters in the body of the sculptures adds a unique dimension to the artwork. The characters, carved with precision and delicacy, not only contribute to the visual appeal but also introduce an element of storytelling. Each stroke becomes a brushstroke in a narrative that transcends the physical form of the koi. It suggests that these creatures are not just ornamental; they carry within them a symbolic language, a silent conversation that viewers are invited to interpret.
Furthermore, the choice of materials, with the bodies of the koi made from Japanese characters, underscores a harmonious blend of tradition and modernity. The sculptures become a canvas where the ancient art of calligraphy meets contemporary sculpture, creating a dialogue between the past and the present.
The availability of the sculptures in two sizes provides an additional layer of interpretation. The larger size may evoke a sense of grandeur, emphasizing the majesty and importance of the koi's symbolism. On the other hand, the smaller size could intimate a more intimate connection, inviting viewers to observe the details up close and engage with the intricate fusion of language and aquatic grace.
In essence, Hiro Ando's "Nishikigoi" sculptures are not just representations of a fish; they are vessels of cultural heritage, carriers of stories, and bridges between artistic mediums. Through these artworks, Ando invites the audience to explore the profound beauty that emerges when tradition and contemporary expression coalesce in the fluid, elegant movements of the koi.
