Ed Fairburn / 滄海桑田蜿蜒曲線 塑造地上絕美臉龐

英國藝術家 Ed Fairburn 每次創作時都會精心搜索舊地圖,這些舊地圖的類別可以是地形、道路或是城市,而Fairburn 會在他的作品中發揮創意加以改造這些舊地圖。他沒有選擇在傳統的畫布上作畫,而是採用並發揮舊地圖的優勢,藉著地圖上既定的線條和標記塑造他的肖像畫。雖然有些作品涉及繪製地圖的細節,但最吸睛的正是這些由街道和水道構圖的作品,他利用地圖上道路和河流的蜿蜒曲線打造肖象外表,並利用它們定位肖象臉部角度和方向。


Fairburn 也利用地圖上的道路和小徑作為邊界,以縱橫交錯的「 陰影線 」填充空白。透過交錯線條的密度,他巧妙地在肖像畫中呈現光、影和紋理,地形輪廓變成了鼻子的陰影,高速公路變成了眉線,水體將臉與周圍的環境分隔,使其在廣闊的藍色襯托下顯得更加突出。當近距離觀察他的作品時,這看起來像是一組抽象、重複的線條排列,但退一步遠距欣賞便是一幅絕美肖象畫。


Fairburn 從世界各地採購舊地圖,包括美國、加拿大和歐洲的地區,但他傾向於搜尋離家較近的地圖,因為他的大部分作品都集中在英格蘭和蘇格蘭週邊的地點,包括一些標誌性地標。他獨特的藝術風格也引起了娛樂製作人的注意,Fairburn 曾受委託為各種電影和電視作品製作電影海報,包括《 奪寶奇兵 》和《 殺神 》等系列。


UK-based artist #EdFairburn begins each creative project by searching for the perfect vintage map to transform. His focus can vary from topographical features to roads or cities — Fairburn incorporates all these elements into his artwork. Instead of battling against the canvas, he embraces its existing lines and markings, allowing them to shape his portraits. While some pieces involve drawing over the map’s details, his most captivating works allow the streets and waterways to guide the composition. His human figures align with the curves of winding roads and rivers, using them to direct their placement and the angles of their faces.


Fairburn also employs roadways and paths on the map as boundaries, filling the surrounding empty space with hatching and crosshatching. By adjusting the density of his etchings, he skilfully suggests light, shadow, and texture in his portraits. Topographical contours form the shadow of a nose, a highway outlines a brow line, and a body of water creates a separation between the face and its surroundings, emphasizing it against the vast blue. Up close, his work may appear as an abstract arrangement of lines, but stepping back reveals the true brilliance of his artistry.
