I wish I was like this
The surrounding buildings would like to match with this artwork. The roof is curved but not yet like the smooth lines of the two wings. The facade is transparent but not as bright as the white shiny surfaces of Magic Landscape by Konoike Tomoko.
The color white in Japanese culture stand for: favour, purity, blessed. I can imagine that this is different from the culture within a company.
In a business the culture may include: hard work, loyal to executives, group pressure, competition.
Magic Landscape is a good addition to a business environment.

Was ik maar zo
De omringende gebouwen zouden graag op dit kunstwerk willen lijken. Het gebogen dak lijkt nog niet op de vloeiende lijnen van de twee vleugels. De gevel is doorzichtig maar nog niet zo helder als de witte glimmende vlakken van Magic Landscape van Konoike Tomoko.
De kleur wit betekent in de Japanse cultuur: goedgezindheid, zuiverheid, gezegend. Ik kan mij voorstellen dat dit afwijkt van de cultuur binnen een bedrijf.
De cultuur van een bedrijf kan inhouden: hard werken, loyaal zijn aan leidinggevenden, groepsdruk, concurrentie.
Magic Landscape is een goede aanvulling op een zakelijke omgeving.

A ten-minute walk south on the main thoroughfare near the gallery takes you to the plaza of a business complex where the centerpiece is Wild Things - Magic of Landscape, a steel-and-aluminum sculpture Konoike produced on commission in 2013.
Standing six meters high, the smooth white shapes look like a pair of disembodied wings thrusting out of the ground -- or might they be rabbit ears? In scale and texture the work is at the opposite end of the spectrum from those on display at Gallery Kido Press, but it evokes the same exuberance of life unleashed in all its wildness and wooliness.

A graduate of the Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music, Konoike has come to prominence through Nihonga-styled surreal paintings and installations that often feature wolves and other regular motifs. The artist lives and works near the Akihabara area of Tokyo.
