拍品資料及來源

銅雕《太極系列─單鞭下勢》創作於1980年代,此時的朱銘在台灣早已聲譽卓著,並正式踏上國際藝術舞臺。除了到新加坡、香港、英國、法國、日本等地舉辦展覽,80年代初,他更決定赴美國紐約創作,並受到漢查森藝廊(Max Hutchinson Gallery)的青睞,舉辦了好幾次成功的展覽。畫廊主人甚至稱其展覽成果為「奇蹟」,因為少有第一次在紐約展出的藝術家就能賣出作品,更何況是一個在美國名不見經傳的台灣創作者。

當太極系列的木雕奠定了朱銘的地位,他也開始探索在木材以外的雕塑媒材。此作中,藝術家選擇了青銅,在雕像上捕捉了一蓄勢待發的瞬間,其雙腳一曲一直,雙手一高一低,重心往下墜,形成一可攻可守之姿。朱銘在製作翻銅塑像時,因為青銅不像木頭本身有生命力,為了避免被固定的形式所牽引流於呆板,他發展出一種以「速度」和「忘我」為主的創作方式,不刻意修飾刀痕並快速切割大塊面積,使雕塑呈現粗獷的塊狀肌理,營造極簡主義的洗鍊風格,充分體現太極拳講究勻、慢、柔、圓的美學思想,更遵循了老子所闡述的「柔剛、靜動、曲直」的辯證關係。

朱銘一系列的《太極系列─單鞭下勢》作品具有高度的收藏價值,早為國際上的公共和私人機構所肯定。如日本雕刻之森美術館(Hakone Open-Air Museum)、香港中國銀行大樓、香港交易廣場及臺北縣的朱銘美術館等,在在顯示其過人魅力。
