Diving Here- 1

作品賞析

HUANG Fa-Cheng’s Diving Here-1 is an oval composition where blue waters cover the greater half of the picture. Different tones of blue were employed to create clear and rippling effects of water. A man wearing swimming shorts is shown leaping into the water from a yellow diving board. In competitive diving, divers are scored according to the size of the splash generated in the swimming pool as well as the difficulty of the moves performed before the diver comes into contact with the water surface. The smaller the splash, the higher the score achieved. HUANG Fa-Cheng used this art on divers to convey his interpretation on the environmental impact of human intervention, where seemingly benign acts result in excessive destruction of the environment.
