2023 64 x 100 cm 不鏽鋼 Stainless Steel

  • This artwork, titled Englishman in New York: A Legal Alien, is a compelling interpretation inspired by Sting's iconic song “Englishman in New York”. Crafted with a metal grinder, the piece features an alien figure prominently in the center, symbolizing the experience of being an outsider. The work captures the essence of isolation while celebrating the confidence to embrace one's uniqueness within the bustling urban landscape.

    The phrase "I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien" is subtly woven into the background, serving as a poignant reminder of the duality of belonging and alienation. The composition skillfully balances between realism and abstraction, drawing viewers in to explore the layers of meaning and emotion behind the figure's journey and the powerful lyrics of Sting's song.

    Englishman in New York: A Legal Alien celebrates the courage to stand out and the beauty of embracing one's true self, echoing the timeless message of individuality and authenticity: "Be yourself, no matter what they say."
