"The compositional designs underpinning these two paintings were originally developed as digital artworks for an art auction in Queenstown, New Zealand. Queenstown is the tourist capital of New Zealand and famous for its ski fields and scenic beauty, popularised in Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings Trilogy. So I created a pair of works featuring ski racers. The reflection in the googles is actually the skyline of ‘The Remarkables’, an iconic mountain range and home to a popular ski field in the region. Because of the helmets, many people have looked at these works and associated them with Daft Punk. You’ll find many a daft punk on slopes so there's some good synergy there." --Tim Christie
“这两幅结构感很强的设计原稿是为一次在新西兰皇后镇的拍卖而创作的电子艺术画。皇后镇作为新西兰旅游之都,有着闻名世界的滑雪胜地和美景,并因彼得杰克逊的《指环王》而成为魔戒小城。我为此创作了这对以滑雪者为主题的艺术作品系列。你在滑雪镜里看到的投射的景象是著名的The Remarkables滑雪场的天际线。 头护具的设计让很多人联想到了蠢朋克乐队(Daft Punk)---你会在滑雪时看到很多类似的存在。”---Tim Christie
