Vokseværk - Aarhus, Denmark - Figurative Public Sculpture on Waymarking.com

Denne smukke skulptur symboliserer selve begrebet Vokseværk, der rummer uro og forandring fra ét stade til et andet. Intet udtrykker som puberteten denne tilstand af både selvbevidst sikkerhed og uendelig sårbarhed. At mange kunstnere i tidens løb har følt sig tiltrukket af dette spændingsfelt kan ikke undre. Det er ofte set symboliseret i ungdommens forår kontra alderdommens efterår.

Gudrun Steen-Andersen's drengeskulptur gør sig bred. Fødderne er plantet i solid bredstilling, hænderne sat i siden. Bare kom an, siger han til verden, denne knægt i lømmelalderen, som både er lidt fræk og fandenivoldsk.

Sådan ser det ud ved første øjekast. Men udtrykket er flertydigt, for selvsikkerheden er et nødvendigt dække over alderens sårbarhed og hudløse følsomhed. Den har kunstneren indfanget i fint sete, små detaljer. I det skrå blik, der er lidt indadvendt og eftertænksomt - for det store spørgsmål hører også alderen til. I fødderne, der vipper ganske let over på forfoden. Han står og tager bestik af situationen og er klar til at bevæge sig fremad.

Skulpturen, fremstillet i bronze, er placeret i haven foran Musikhuset i Aarhus.

This beautiful sculpture is symbolizing the concept of Growing Pains, which contains turmoil and change from one state to another. No express this state of both the assertive security vulnerability and infinite as puberty. The fact that many artists over the years have been attracted by this tension is not surprising. It is often seen symbolized in youth spring versus old age autumn.

Gudrun Steen-Andersen's boy sculpture gets wide. The feet are planted in solid wide position, hands placed on the side. Just Come on, he says to the world.

So it looks at first glance. However, the term is ambiguous, because the self security is a necessary cover for vulnerability and skinless sensitivity. The artist has captured this state in fine neglected, small details. In the oblique glance, there is little introspective and thoughtful - the big question is in his head. In the feet that tilts slightly projecting on the forefoot. He stands and takes a look of the situation and are ready to move forward.

The sculpture, made ??of bronze, is located in the garden in front of the Concert Hall in Aarhus.
