阿纳·奎兹 ARNE QUINZE
阿纳·奎兹1971年生于比利时，他目前在比利时的圣马尔滕斯拉特姆生活工作。在八十年代，尽管他没有完成正式的艺术学业，但是作为一名涂鸦艺术家开始了艺术领域的追求，他通过艺术进行自我表达的这种形式发源于此。奎兹创作大小型的雕塑、绘图、绘画和大型作品。小型作品、素描和绘图是他的大型装置作品的基础和元素。为了自我探索和优化每个新的创意，奎兹完全沉浸于他的创意世界。在奎兹的作品系列中，经常运用的元素是各式各样的木头，甚至是废旧木料，还有荧光漆涂出的极具电子感的色彩（黄色，橙色，黑色），以及社会化互动、沟通、节奏和线条交互的各种主题。
Arne Quinze was born in 1971 in Belgium and lives and works in Sint-Martens-Latem, Belgium. In the eighties he began working as a graffiti artist, and the urge to express himself artistically dates from this period, but he never finished an official art education. Quinze creates large and small sculptures, drawings, paintings, and large-scale installations. Smaller works, sketches, and drawings are the basis and research for his large installations. In the process of searching himself and optimizing every new idea, he becomes entirely absorbed in his world and creations. Recurring fundamentals in his oeuvre are the use of multiple types of wood, including salvaged wood; electrical colors in fluorescent paint (yellow, orange, and black); and themes referring to social interaction, communication, rhythm, and the interplay of lines.
奎兹的动力来源于这样一个信念，即实现一个人人能相互沟通互动的理想社会，忽略了我们人性上的需求，现在我们生活在一个直接社会性的互动沟通几乎消失殆尽的时代。奎兹致力于汇聚人群并将人群推向一种积极对话的状态，在他的作品中，呈现出一派社区活动繁荣的情景，而社会凝聚力是作品的准则。他的装置作品目的在于触发人们之间的互动，以及成为经过他的雕塑作品的路人的日常生活的一份子。
What drives Quinze is the belief in the possible realization of an idealistic society where all individuals communicate and interact. Neglecting our human needs, we live in an era where direct social interaction has been almost completely diminished to non-existent. Quinze aims to bring people together and push them into a vigorous dialogue. In his work, communal activities flourish and social cohesion is the norm. His installations are built to provoke reaction and to intervene in the daily life of passersby confronted with his sculptures.
在奎兹所经历过的每种文化中，他在自己的作品中融合了不同的塑造工艺和绘图的灵感，并且充满了惊人的乐观精神所带来的动力。除了打造建筑雕塑作品，他还创作复杂的艺术作品以及视频装置作品，将人们在现在和将来如何审视自我与社会的这种视角镌刻在社会中。
In every culture Quinze comes across, he unravels physical processes, drawing inspiration for his oeuvre, and is fueled by overwhelming optimism. Besides building architectural sculptures, he creates complex art pieces and video installations inscribing his vision in society of how people see themselves and society in the present and future.
奎兹热衷于收集二手材料，他将这些材料循环利用，以他自己独有的艺术视角，赋予它们新的生命。在处理他找到的材料的过程中，他重新定义了作品的层次和材质。 他致力于提升原有材料的瑕疵，进而创作出完美的造型线条，即使他知道这样的造型线条可能不存在。当代社会每个新的创意事物都吸引了他的想象力，并且影响着他对于互动、城市的律动、速度和光的研究。奎兹只需扫视城市一眼，就能分辨出透露了人类不断演化和周遭环境的不停节奏。总之，阿纳·奎兹试图激发人与人之间的沟通和互动。
Quinze is an obsessive collector of used materials, which he recycles to give their lines new life in the manifestation of his vision. In editing what he has found, he redefines the layers and textures in his compositions. He aspires to improve the original imperfections in his quest to create the perfect line even when he knows this line might not ever exist. Every new creative breed in present-day society captures his imagination and influences his research and study on interaction, urbanity movement, speed, and light. Quinze scans a city in a blink of an eye and is able to divulge the ongoing rhythm expressing the continuously evolution of human beings and their surroundings. But above all, Arne Quinze tries to evoke communication and human interaction.
作为一名艺术家，奎兹发起了一场针对自身、受众群体以及他的概念想法的持久斗争。这是一场永不停止的奋斗，激励人们树立从无到有构建一个全新社会的信心。通过这样的努力，奎兹与世界上其他的前领当代艺术家走到了一起，例如Miro, Picasso, Giacometti和 Calder。把他们带到一起的是他们发起的斗争，在创作过程中，通过相对保守的力量自由表达自我。奎兹无时不刻进行着自我挑战，永不停止艺术方面的实验，这就是他的风格。
As an artist, Quinze puts up a continuing fight within himself, with clients, and with his conceptual ideas. It’s an unceasing struggle to encourage people to place confidence in building a whole new reality from scratch. In this endeavor, Quinze relates to the first leading contemporary artists in the world, such as Miro, Picasso, Giacometti, and Calder. What unites them is the struggle they brought about with more conservative powers to express themselves freely throughout their creative process. Quinze challenges himself around the clock, thereby yielding to the endless experiment art signifies for him.
