serie "The Nishikigoi Ballet : A Symphony in Sculpted Serenity"
In crafting his iconic sculpture "Magoi & Higoi," Hiro Ando draws inspiration from the rich cultural tapestry of Japan, weaving a narrative that transcends the traditional boundaries of art. The genesis of this masterpiece lies in Ando's profound fascination with the mesmerizing world of Nishikigoi, ornamental carp renowned for their vibrant colors and graceful movements.
Ando's exploration of the Nishikigoi theme takes a daring leap into the realm of the surreal, as he envisions these majestic creatures suspended and soaring within an open cage. The choice of metal as the medium reflects not only the artist's technical prowess but also symbolizes the fusion of nature and industry, a recurring theme in Ando's body of work.
The title "Magoi & Higoi" hints at the dual nature of the sculpture. "Magoi," the mature, more subdued koi, coexists with "Higoi," the younger, more vibrant counterpart. The juxtaposition of these two stages in the life cycle of the Nishikigoi serves as a metaphor for the passage of time, the cyclical nature of existence, and the eternal dance between youth and maturity.
The open cage adds an intriguing dimension to the narrative. It symbolizes liberation, inviting viewers to contemplate the boundaries imposed on both art and life. As the suspended Nishikigoi traverse the confines of the cage, they become ethereal symbols of freedom, breaking free from the constraints of the physical world.
Ando's "Magoi & Higoi" is a testament to the artist's ability to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. By immortalizing the essence of Nishikigoi in polished metal, he invites audiences to ponder the harmonious interplay between nature, artifice, and the inexorable march of time. This sculpture not only captures the fleeting beauty of the Nishikigoi but also invites contemplation on the transient nature of all things, suspended in a delicate dance between the seen and the unseen.
