Ukusebenza ngomlinganiselo omkhulu akukho nto intsha kumkroli wesinyithi uJoseph Gagnepain, umzobi odaywe-ngoboya oye waya kwi-Chicago Academy yezoBugcisa kunye neKholeji yaseMinneapolis yoBugcisa kunye noYilo. Ufumene i-niche ekusebenzeni ngezinto ezifunyenweyo xa wayehlanganisa umfanekiso oqingqiweyo phantse ngokupheleleyo kwiibhayisekile ezilahliweyo, kwaye ukusukela ngoko uye wasebenza ukuze abandakanye zonke iintlobo zezinto ezifunyenweyo, phantse ehlala esebenza kwisikali esikhulu.Imifanekiso enikwe nguJoseph Gagnepain

Abantu abaninzi abazama isandla sabo kwimizobo yesinyithi ngabaqulunqi abazi kancinane malunga nobugcisa. Enoba basebenza okanye bathanda izinto abazithandayo, baba nomdla wokwenza into ethile enobuchule, besebenzisa ubuchule ababufumene emsebenzini nexesha labo lasekhaya ukuze basukele utyekelo lomzobi.

Kwaye ke kukho olunye uhlobo. Uhlobo olufana noJoseph Gagnepain. Igcisa elidaywe ngoboya, waya kwisikolo samabanga aphakamileyo eChicago Academy for the Arts kwaye wafunda kwiKholeji yoBugcisa kunye noYilo eMinneapolis. Unobuchule bokusebenza kumajelo eendaba amaninzi, uligcisa lexesha elizeleyo elipeyinta imizobo eseludongeni ukuze iboniswe esidlangalaleni kunye nengqokelela yabucala; uyila imifanekiso eqingqiweyo ngomkhenkce, ikhephu, nesanti; yenza iimpawu zorhwebo; kwaye uthengisa imizobo yoqobo kunye noshicilelo kwiwebhusayithi yakhe.

Kwaye, akasweli nto yenkuthazo kwizinto ezininzi ezilahliweyo ekulula ukuzifumana kuluntu lwethu lokulahla.

Ukufumana iNjongo yokuHlaziya iintsimbi

Xa uGagnepain ejonga ibhayisekile elahliweyo, akaneli nje ukubona inkcitho, ubona ithuba. Iinxalenye zebhayisekile—ifreyimu, iisprockets, amavili—ziyanceda kwimifanekiso eqingqiweyo yezilwanyana eneenkcukacha ezininzi ebumba inxalenye enkulu yoluhlu lwakhe. Imilo ye-angular yesakhelo sebhayisekile ifana neendlebe zempungutye, izibonisi zikhumbuza amehlo esilwanyana, kunye nobukhulu obahlukeneyo beerimu bunokusetyenziswa kuthotho ukwenza imilo etyholo yomsila wempungutye.

"Iigiya zithetha ukuhlangana," utshilo uGagnepain. “Bandikhumbuza amagxa neengqiniba. Amalungu ayi-biomechanical, njengamacandelo asetyenziswa kwisitayile se-steampunk, ”utshilo.

Umbono wavela ngexesha lomsitho owawuse-Geneva, Ill., omnye owawukhuthaza ukuhamba ngebhayisikile kuwo wonke ummandla ombindi wedolophu. UGagnepain, owamenywa ukuba abe ngomnye wamagcisa abalaseleyo kulo msitho, wafumana umbono kumkhwenyana wakhe ukuba asebenzise iinxalenye zeebhayisekile ezibanjwe lisebe lamapolisa asekuhlaleni ukwenza umfanekiso oqingqiweyo.

“Izibhayisekile sazihlukanisa saza sazakhela egaraji umfanekiso oqingqiweyo. Bendinabahlobo abathathu okanye abane beze kuncedisa, ibiyinto eyonwabisayo nenentsebenziswano,” utshilo uGagnepain.

Njengemizobo emininzi edumileyo, isikali apho iGagnepain isebenza khona sinokukhohlisa. Owona mzobo udumileyo kwihlabathi, "Mona Lisa," ulinganisa nje i-30 in. ukuphakama nge-21 in. ububanzi, ngelixa umzobo oseludongeni kaPablo Picasso "Guernica" mkhulu, ngaphezu kwe-25 ft ubude kwaye phantse i-12 ft ukuphakama. Etsalwe kwimizobo eseludongeni, uGagnepain uthanda ukusebenza kwinqanaba elikhulu.

Isinambuzane esifana nomntanezulu sime malunga ne-6 ft ukuphakama. Indoda ekhwele iassembly yeebhayisikile, leyo ikhumbula emva kwimihla yeebhayisekile ezide ngepenny-farthing kwinkulungwane eyadlulayo, iphantse yalingana nobomi. Enye yeempungutye zakhe inkulu kangangokuba isiqingatha sebhayisekile yabantu abadala sibumba isakhelo sendlebe, kwaye uninzi lwamavili abumba umsila nawo asuka kwiibhayisekile ezilingana nabantu abadala. Ukuqwalasela ukuba i-fox ebomvu i-avareji malunga ne-17 ngaphakathi ehlombe, isikali si-epic.

UJoseph Gagnepain esebenza kwimifanekiso yakhe eqingqiweyo iValkyrie ngo-2021.

Ukubaleka amaso

Ukufunda ukuwelda akuzange kufike ngokukhawuleza. Watsaleleka kuyo, kancinci kancinci.

“Njengoko ndacelwa ukuba ndibe yinxalenye yalo mboniso wobugcisa okanye lo mboniso wobugcisa, ndaqalisa ukuwelda ngakumbi nangakumbi,” utshilo. Akuzange kube lula, kananjalo. Ekuqaleni wayeyazi indlela yokudibanisa amaqhekeza kunye usebenzisa i-GMAW, kodwa ukuqhuba i-bead kwakunzima kakhulu.

“Ndikhumbula nditsiba ndinqumla ndize ndifumane iiglowubhu zentsimbi kumphezulu ngaphandle kokungena okanye ukufumana intsimbi elungileyo,” utshilo. “Andizange ndiziqhelanise nokwenza amaso, bendizama ukwenza umfanekiso oqingqiweyo nokuwelda ukubona ukuba awuzukuhlala kunye na.

Ngaphaya koMjikelo

Ayiyiyo yonke imifanekiso eqingqiweyo kaGagnepain eyenziwe ngamalungu ebhayisekile. Ugocagoca kwiindawo ezikrwada, egqogqa kwimfumba yenkunkuma, yaye uthembele kwiminikelo yentsimbi ukuze afumane izinto azifunayo. Ngokubanzi, akathandi ukutshintsha imilo yoqobo yento efunyenweyo kakhulu.

“Ndiyithanda kakhulu indlela izinto ezijongeka ngayo, ngakumbi izinto ezisecaleni kwendlela ezinenkangeleko embi, enomhlwa. Ijongeka ngathi yinto eqhelekileyo kum. ”
