“大黄鸭之父”新作“浮鱼”亮相乌镇，萌吗？ - 大黄鸭,浮鱼 - IT资讯
眼前的这位身材高大的荷兰帅哥，恐怕是目前最为人所熟悉的当代艺术家之一——霍夫曼。那只在世界各地引发疯狂的大黄鸭，就出自他的手。
最近，这位专做“大玩具”的荷兰艺术家，为水乡乌镇定制了一条巨大的粉红鱼，这条鱼现在正静静地“浮”在乌镇西栅景区的水剧场内。
“粉红鱼”有两层意义
设计灵感来自鲤鱼跳龙门
这条粉红色的大鱼长15米、7米高，全身覆盖着色彩粉嫩的鳞片，鱼鳞特地选用了可回收利用的泳池浮板作为材料。霍夫曼给这件作品取名《浮鱼》(Floating Fish)。
为什么是条鱼？霍夫曼告诉浙江在线记者，乌镇水剧场的格局让他联想到了水族馆中的海豚表演场地，于是他希望在这里创作一个水生动物的形象。“浮鱼的形象取自金鱼和鲤鱼。鱼对于中国人来说，象征着富足，并且鲤鱼跳龙门具有丰富的文化寓意。”
和霍夫曼之前的诸多作品类似，浮鱼依旧是想营造快乐愉悦的气氛，传递一种积极乐观的态度。霍夫曼说，在乌镇的白墙灰瓦和葱荣绿树间，这条粉色的鱼能够为古镇增添一笔鲜亮的色彩，它“浮”在小桥流水间，等待着大家与之亲密互动。“浮鱼周围没有设置护栏，观众可以去触摸它，只是动作要温柔一些。”
记者也了解到，这条体型巨大的鱼，搭建起来颇费周折。仅仅为了鱼鳞布置的方向，霍夫曼就通过电子邮件和施工人员累计发送了上千封邮件，几乎让施工团队“抓狂”。由于邮件沟通速度太慢，他甚至学会了使用微信。最终，大鱼达到了霍夫曼心中完美的状态。

大玩具能产生新思考
“观众也可以成为作品的一部分”
霍夫曼被许多中国人所知道，大该还是因为他的“大黄鸭”。
这只大黄鸭从2007年开始游历世界，去过十多个国家(地区)，每到一处，都引起万人围观。2014年，大黄鸭在杭州西溪湿地展出。
然而，大黄鸭并不是霍夫曼的唯一作品，人字拖鞋组成的彩色猴子，鹅卵石堆成的大黄兔子……虽然形象不一，但相同的是这些作品全都保持着“很大”、“很萌”的风格。“创作大型物体的灵感来源于一种观众与作品进行联系的渴望，庞大的形象可以给人以全新的视角，从而在截然不同的位置进行观察。”霍夫曼告诉记者，观众在一定的距离观察这些卡通形象，同时也会对自身进行审视，对这些可爱的形象产生新的思考。
“我做的很多作品都是超大型的玩具，其中很多是动物形象，但对我来说并不只是把他们当做单纯的艺术作品。”霍夫曼说，随着这些作品在全球各个地方的展出，与世界各地不同的人接触，本身就是一种学习，是一个让他认识人本身的过程。
大黄鸭在各地的巡展开始前，总会有大量游客聚集在一起，等待大黄鸭的到来，这让霍夫曼十分难忘。用他的话说，“就像期待圣诞老人发放礼物一样。”与此同时，媒体和网络社交平台也密切关注和探讨这这只大鸭子，形成了轰动一时的传播影响。“所以说在很大程度上，观众也是作品的一部分。”
如何看待“山寨鸭”？
希望大黄鸭能成为关注版权问题的催化剂
2013年5月，大黄鸭在香港火了之后，形态、大小不一的山寨黄鸭就开始在多个城市出现。然而，这些山寨黄鸭同样吸引不少人驻足观看、拍照留念。那么霍夫曼如何看待火热之后，不少地方冒出“山寨”大黄鸭？身为设计师的他大度表示，假的大黄鸭与真实的大黄鸭非常相似，很多人也和大黄鸭合影，这似乎并没有什么。不过，他也坦言：“如果换位思考一下，如果你是艺术家或者设计师，创作了一个很好的作品，然而却被别人仿制，那你的心里一定不好受。希望大黄鸭可以成为一个催化剂，引发我们对版权问题的思考和讨论。”
在霍夫曼看来，玩具本身是一个给人带来轻松和愉快的载体，作为一个艺术家只是把他们设置成容易亲近的视觉形象。与此同时，创作中使用的纸张、泥土，甚至塑料拖鞋等材料也是人们日常生活中非常熟悉的。霍夫曼说：“当作品进入公共空间当中，也就显示出了幽默性。”
