Today’s Painting
今日畫作
Today we present a print of the Polish artist Janek Simon from the collection at the ING Polish Art Foundation. The exhibition, The Spirit of Nature and Other Fairy Tales, is on view in the Silesia Museum in Katowice (Poland), until 3 May 2020.
今天，我們展示的是 ING波蘭藝術基金會中收藏的波蘭藝術家約翰·西蒙的版畫。展覽“大自然的精神和其他童話”，正在卡托維茲（波蘭）的西里西亞博物館中展出，持續到2020年5月3日。
Janek Simon’s colorful relief was inspired by ornamental carpets and fabrics from the Podlasie region of Poland, Afghanistan, the Caucasus, and West Africa. The work was developed using elements printed by 3D printers the artist constructed himself.
約翰·西蒙彩色浮雕的靈感來自波蘭波德拉西地區，阿富汗，高加索和西非的裝飾性地毯和織物。該藝術家使用自己構造的3D打印機所打印的元素，完成了這幅作品。
Individual pieces have been arranged into patterns containing interwoven motifs symbolizing Simon’s earlier works and ex-girlfriends. Speaking the language of art, Simon narrates a tale of travel and artistic and emotional life.
每一塊碎片都經過安排，形成包含交織圖案的式樣，這些交織圖案象徵著西蒙早期的作品和前女友們。西蒙用藝術語言講述了關於旅行、藝術和情感生活的故事。
Despite the occasionally random array, individual components of the piece form a harmonious whole, tying in with the artist’s belief in the existence of an “ideal disorder” where harmony and order require a rearrangement rather than reformatting of inherent components.
儘管偶爾會出現隨機排列，但每塊碎片的各個組成部分形成了一個和諧的整體，這與藝術家對存在“理想的凌亂”的信念緊密聯繫在一起，在“理想的凌亂”中，和諧與秩序需要重新安排而不是對固有組件重新格式化。
Artist Introduction
畫家簡介
Creator of installations, sculptures, videos, objects, and artistic actions; curator. He studied sociology and psychology at Jagiellonian University and managed the Goldex Poldex co-operative.
約翰·西蒙具有多重身份：裝置，雕塑，錄像帶，物體和藝術作品的創作者；館長。他曾在雅蓋隆大學學習社會學和心理學，並管理了戈德克斯·波爾德克斯合作社。
His work is inspired by scientific theories and models, and the specificity and usefulness of such fields as geography and economics, both responding to civilisational change. His installations and objects frequently involve visualisations based on mathematical and physical formulae and statistical data.
其作品的靈感來自科學理論和模型，以及地理和經濟學等領域的具體性和實用性，兩者都隨文明的變化而改變。他的裝置和對象經常涉及基於數學和物理公式以及統計數據的可視化。
All are experimental in nature, reflecting the clash between scientific theories and daily life or current sociological and political phenomena. Many of his works, occasionally including complex electronic circuits, were developed to do-it-yourself rules, produced by the artist end to end.
所有事物在本質上都是具備實驗性質，反映了科學理論與日常生活或當前的社會學和政治現象之間的衝突。他的許多作品（有時包括複雜的電子電路），創作的規則都是基於藝術家自己動手製作，從始至終都由藝術家完成。
Simon engages in projects across the world, inviting other artists to collaborate. Winner of the Views 2007 Deutsche Bank Foundation Award. He lives and works in Warsaw.
西蒙邀請其他藝術家合作並參與了世界各地的項目。他是觀點2007德意志銀行基金會獎的獲得者，目前在華沙生活和工作。
