Manolo González

擁有紮實古典實力的馬諾羅,從作品材料的選擇上,馬諾羅一開始使用青銅,並認為青銅是雕塑最直覺最有力量和表現,在這幾十年來,馬諾羅不斷研發和探索第二個他認為可以同樣表現出優美線條和強而有力的耐久材料,他成功的發展出不鏽鋼絲網系列作品,鋼絲網本身的穿透度和輕盈的質地,使馬諾羅更易於表現的古典美學比例和當代藝術所追求的力量感,質地和材質之間的虛實反差提供了一個非常具有啟發性的特質,從古典的卡拉拉到大理石雕刻,馬諾羅巧妙的使用鋼絲網展現出當代雕塑的優雅與力量近年來使用適合在戶外設置鋼絲網作為主要媒材,「網」是人類從古文明就開始使用的重要工具之一,具有採集捕獵功能,馬諾羅使用網塑型,編織,重疊,把人類軀體的線條以及建構的比例以寫意的方式展現出人體的美。穿透性高的視覺效果更是在每一個空間裡都有她獨特的化學作品,到底是網去包覆了空間亦或是空間去容納了雕塑,不論是沉思的姿態,跳躍的動感或是美麗的人體曲線,全部都承載在這張網裡,自成一個小宇宙。
