Conceptual installation:"Mirror.Mirror"
Contemporary artist DKING.W, with profound contemplation and astonishing creativity, has created this conceptual installation series titled "Mirror.Mirror" .
The artwork consists of a series of mirrors pierced by real bullets. As we admire the artwork, we perceive a sharp contrast formed between beauty and brutality. Simultaneously, it carries an interactive, temporal, and ironic sense of "transformation of beauty and ugliness."
Before the major pandemic outbreak in 2017, the artist, driven by a certain premonition, briefly exhibited the artwork in Los Angeles in the form of "dressing mirrors," arousing greater interest and curiosity. Through the artwork, the audience experiences intense emotional contrasts. They see scarred trees, buildings, the sky, and themselves, witnessing a world that is distorted, twisted, and both real and illusory.
From a temporal perspective, this bold and pioneering work of art emerges against the backdrop of a world fraught with human societal crises, a global pandemic, and the ongoing local conflicts and regional wars. It holds significant revelations for the entire uncertain world, both in the present and the future. Its value and significance are self-evident.
From the perspective of art itself, the artwork possesses profound expression and meaning, both aesthetically and philosophically. It exhibits originality in terms of materials and forms of expression. With the continued exhibition and growing recognition, its irreplaceable position in art history will be assured.
So, let's remain composed.
"Indeed, we are composed. Fortunately, we are able to witness this remarkable artwork right before our eyes now!"
