Comic Sansat the Fairmont Pacific Rim
Equinox Gallery 荣幸呈现 Comic Sans,这是艺术家 Sonny Assu(Kwakwaka’wakw 联盟中 Ligwilda’xw 部族成员)的全新个展。Assu 充满活力的跨领域创作实践,探讨在当代加拿大作为一名原住民意味着什么。他借由科幻、漫画、涂鸦与九十年代怀旧文化的元素,结合个人经验,打破人们对原住民文化身份的既定想象。
在 Comic Sans 中,Assu 运用了被称为 formline 的传统艺术形式——一种由椭圆形、S 形与 U 形组成的复杂视觉语言,历史上常用于图腾柱、房屋立面及变形面具等实用或礼仪性物件。通过将 Kwakwaka’wakw 图像语言与流行文化及西方美学大胆融合,Assu 创造出一种独特的视觉语汇,用以重新夺回原住民身份的叙事权,并探索塑造其世界观的强大文化交汇力量。
