DISAPPEARING ART

Duncan Hamilton creates great works of art, but he doesn’t use paint or pencils. He’s a sculptor, but he doesn’t use wood or stone. He always works quickly and the longest he’s ever spent on a sculpture is two weeks. So what kind of material does he use to create his art? ICE!

 

Duncan has had an interesting career. He started out as a chef and then became interested in ice sculpture. Now he has his own business, making fantastic ice sculptures for all kinds of purposes, including for the cinema, advertising, tourism and for magazine photos. Duncan has made everything from a life-size igloo in London’s Trafalgar Square to a 12 meter-wide castle for a wedding and ice cubes for drink adverts.

So how does he make his sculpture? Duncan and his team work very carefully to produce their ice. This is because it has to be very clean and clear. It also has to be stored at certain temperatures. If the ice is completely frozen, it can be very hard to work with. Not only that, but the ice can burn, so the artists have to wear special protective clothes.

 

Unlike other forms of art, ice sculptures don’t last forever because they melt. Some people can’t imagine losing something they’ve created like this. Luckily, Duncan doesn’t mind watching his sculptures slowly change and then disappear. Many of the sculptures even look better after a few hours at room temperature. The average ice sculpture lasts for six or seven hours and may take a couple of days to completely melt, but the smaller ones don’t last long at all.

Bố tôi có một sở thích khác thường: Khắc vỏ trứng. Như mọi người đều biết, vỏ trứng rất mong manh. Cha tôi có thể làm những tác phẩm nghệ thuật đẹp ra khỏi vỏ trứng. Thật tuyệt vời.

Anh ấy bắt đầu sở thích năm năm trước sau một chuyến đi đến Mỹ nơi anh ấy nhìn thấy một số vỏ trứng được chạm khắc trong một phòng trưng bày nghệ thuật. Bố tôi không đi đến lớp học. Anh học mọi thứ từ Internet.

Một số người nói rằng sở thích là khó khăn và nhàm chán, nhưng nó không phải là. Tất cả những gì bạn cần là thời gian. Có lẽ mất khoảng 2 tuần để làm 1 vỏ trứng. Tôi tìm thấy thói quen này thú vị vì vỏ trứng được chạm khắc là những món quà độc đáo cho gia đình và bạn bè. Tôi hy vọng trong tương lai bạn sẽ dạy tôi cách khắc vỏ trứng.
