  Rome is recognized across the globe for its classical artwork, but recently the city’s modern street art has been drawing attention. While many urban artists stick to painting murals, one Italian sculptor is bucking the trend with his wonderful works made from an unusual medium. Andrea Gandini, a native of Rome in his early twenties, has been recognized for his wood carvings of old tree trunks scattered across the city’s landscape.

羅馬因其古典藝術品而聞名全球,但近來這座城市的現代街頭藝術開始吸引了人們的目光。雖然城市裡的許多藝術家堅持畫壁畫,不過有一位義大利雕刻家卻逆勢而為,以一種不尋常的媒材創造出他令人驚歎的作品。年僅二十出頭的羅馬人安德烈.甘迪尼以他遍布該市的老樹幹木雕而備受認可。

  • stick to... 堅持/信守⋯⋯(承諾、原則等)
  • buck the trend  逆轉潮流
    buck [ bʌk ] vt. 抵抗;反抗

  Gandini’s Troncomorto, or “dead trunk” project, began in 2018, when the artist ran out of sculpting clay. That’s when he noticed the remains of an old tree stump in his neighborhood.

甘迪尼的「死木」(或「枯樹幹」)計畫始於這位藝術家在 2018 年用完他的雕塑黏土時。他就是在那時注意到社區裡一棵老樹殘餘的樹樁(編按:即樹木被鋸去樹身後所剩的末段)。

  • run out of... 用完⋯⋯
  • stump [ stʌmp ] n. 樹樁

  He realized that Rome was full of potential canvasses just waiting to be given new life. Bringing trees back to life” is exactly how Gandini and others describe his art.

他開始意識到羅馬潛藏著許多等待重獲新生的素材。「讓樹起死回生」正是甘迪尼等人形容其藝術的說法。

  • bring... back to life 使⋯⋯起死回生

 

  Due to years of poor care by the city, many trees became diseased and had to be cut down. This resulted in lots of old stumps that blemish the streets of Rome, which were costly to remove. However, they have been a perfect canvas for Gandini, who has completed over 50 carvings across the city.

  由於該市多年疏於照顧,許多樹染上疾病而必須被砍下。這造成許多破壞羅馬街道美觀的老樹樁,需花費大筆經費才能將它們移除。然而,它們卻是甘迪尼的完美畫布,他已在全市完成了五十多件的樹雕作品。

  • diseased [ dɪˈzizd ] a. 患病害的,病變的
  • blemish [ 'blɛmɪʃ ] vt. 有損⋯⋯的完美;玷汙

  Gandini gives each old tree trunk a face and personality of its own. By recognizing each formerly living tree as an individual, he hopes to give them some dignity in death and honor each of them with their own headstone of sorts. For those that can’t make the trek to Rome, Gandini documents his works of art on Instagram.

  • dignity [ ˈdɪgnətɪ ] n. 尊嚴
  • headstone [ ˈhɛdˌston ] n. 墓碑
  • trek [ trɛk ] n.(顯得很漫長的)一段路程;(尤指徒步的)艱苦長途旅行
