Love Alien

With this minimalist yet unique creation called "Love Alien", Hung Yi is breaking away from his characteristic colorful artistic approach by applying a titanium finish to the steel sculpture that highlights its beautiful curves with metallic hues. The alien, newly arrived on Earth, adopts the local custom of making a heart gesture with its hands, popular among Earthlings for selfies, showcasing the friendly charm of its alien culture. In its other hands, it holds a silver planet in a pose of meditation and contemplation, signifying the embrace of the world with love and mindfulness, resonating with the theme of caring for the Earth. The circular platform on which it stands symbolizes that we all share the same horizon, encouraging people to embrace, care for, and appreciate our diverse and ever-changing world. The overall work retains the full and flowing lines of the artist’s colorful animal artwork, whilst experimenting with reflective materials that project the real world onto the sculpture, replacing his more recognizable colorful patterns. By incorporating this alien theme, the artist expresses a deeper level of observation and reflection on the world.
