Navrhuje domy, a napriek tomu nie je architekt! Alex je sochár, ktorý ukazuje svet z inej perspektívy

Britský sochár Alex Chinneck oživuje staré budovy a dáva im úplne nový vzhľad. Spolu s tímom mnohých pracovníkov vymyslel napríklad dom z parafínových tehál, ktorý sa vplyvom tepla pomaly roztápa. Vytvoril tiež vilu, ktorá je roztrhnutá a viac ako polovica z nej doslova levituje vo vzduchu. Ale v jeho tvorbe nie je žiadna mágia, iba kombinácia jeho vášní – umenia, architektúry, inžinierstva a divadla. Kreativita a talent sa snúbia so zmyslom pre humor. Ako inak by vznikli inštalácie, ktoré pripomínajú obrovské zipsy na stenách budov? Alebo cesta, ktorá sa s celým autom odlúpla od zeme a tvorí vo vzduchu veľký oblúk… Všetky tieto diela, vrátane 37-metrového stožiara naruby, musia byť dostatočne bezpečné, aby nikoho nezranili. Ako hovorí sám autor, umenie je vytvoriť náročnú vec tak, aby vyzerala celkom jednoducho.

We just unveiled our new sculpture at Milan Design Week in partnership with IQOS. The seventeen metre wide sculpture unzips a Milanese facade. This is the most ambitious work I’ve ever made – and there are two more to come. See it at Via Tortona 31 all this week. #milandesignweek #iqosworld. Photography by @marcwilmot.

Over 200,000 people visited the unzipping building over the last 6 days. My sculptures playfully disrupt our perception of what is physically possible but this project has only been possible because of the brilliant people that built it with me. Ambition gives birth to an idea but collaboration makes it grow. Thank you to everyone who visited the artworks, thank you to everyone who built the artworks with me, thank you to IQOS for this partnership and thanks for having me Milan. #milan #milandesignweek #iqosworld.

'Take my lightning but don't steal my thunder'. My work takes ambitious paths to accessible moments to create sculptures that anyone can understand and hopefully enjoy. Photography by @christubbsphotography_projects

We are in Sheffield this weekend with 'Pick yourself up and pull yourself together'. 12 months ago we presented our work to children from the Tinsley community and the peeling road was their favourite. Last week we surprised them by installing it near their school and all 400 students have now visited, one class at a time. Image by Sheffield based photographer Martin Hogg @sinetone

A bullet from a shooting star. @thelinelondon launch their new website today, which includes a short film about this sculpture. The inverted electricity pylon stands 35 metres tall on Greenwich Peninsula and was a pleasure to produce in partnership with @l_d_f_official. My sculptures create problems that are solved through collaboration and particular credit for this artwork goes to my long term collaborators @smithandwallwork engineers.
