"Ukukhipha" (2016), ekhiqizwe ngethusi elipendwe ngesandla (uhlelo lwe-9) kanye ne-bronze resin ependwe ngesandla (uhlelo lwe-12), 67 x 58 x 50 amasentimitha. Zonke izithombe © Jonathan Hateley, zabiwe ngemvume

Njengoba becwile emvelweni, abantu besifazane bayadansa, babonise, futhi baphumule emifanekisweni eqoshiwe yethusi yemilenze ka-Jonathan Hateley. Izihloko zixoxa nendawo ezizungezile, zibingelela ilanga noma zincike emoyeni futhi zihlangana namaphethini amahlamvu noma ulele. “Ngakhangwa ukuthi ngenze umfanekiso okhombisa imvelo ebusweni bomfanekiso, ongagqanyiswa kangcono ngokusetshenziswa kombala,” etshela uColossal. "Lokhu kuguqukile ngokuhamba kwesikhathi kusukela ekumeni kwamahlamvu kuya emigxivizweni yeminwe kanye nezimbali zamacherry kuya kumaseli wokutshala."

Ngaphambi kokuthi aqale ukuzijwayeza isitudiyo esizimele, uHateley wasebenzela ishabhu yezentengiselwano eyakhiqiza izithombe eziqoshiwe zethelevishini, yaseshashalazini, nefilimu, ezikhathini eziningi ezishintsha ngokushesha. Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, wakhangwa ukwehlisa ijubane nokugcizelela ukuhlola, ukuthola ugqozi ekuhambeni okuvamile emvelweni. Nakuba egxile esimeni somuntu iminyaka engaphezu kweshumi, ekuqaleni wamelana naleso sitayela. “Ngaqala ngezilwane zasendle, futhi lokho kwaqala ukuguqukela ekubeni yizinto eziphilayo ezinemininingwane ekhonjiswa emifanekisweni eqoshiwe,” etshela uColossal. Phakathi kuka-2010 no-2011, waphothula iphrojekthi emangalisayo yezinsuku ezingama-365 yama-bas-reliefs amancane agcina esenziwe ohlotsheni lwe-monolith.

UHateley waqala ukusebenza ngethusi esebenzisa indlela yokubanda—eyaziwa nangokuthi inhlaka yethusi—inqubo ehilela ukuhlanganisa impushana yethusi nenhlaka ndawonye ukuze enze uhlobo oluthile lopende, wabe esewugcoba ngaphakathi kwesikhunta esenziwe ngobumba bokuqala. ifomu. Lokhu ngokwemvelo kuholele ekubunjweni kwe-Foundry, noma i-wax elahlekile, lapho umfanekiso oqoshiwe ungaphinda ukhiqizwe ngensimbi. Idizayini yokuqala kanye nenqubo yokubaza ingathatha izinyanga ezine kusukela ekuqaleni kuya ekupheleni, kulandelwa ukulingisa nokuqeda ngesandla, okuvamise ukuthatha cishe izinyanga ezintathu ukuqeda.

Njengamanje, u-Hateley usebenza ochungechungeni olusekelwe ekuthwebuleni isithombe nomdansi wase-West End, ireferensi emsiza ukuthi afinyelele imininingwane ye-anatomical yama-torsos nezitho ezinwetshiwe. “Owokuqala waleyo mifanekiso eqoshiwe unomfanekiso ofinyelela phezulu, ngethemba lokuthi usezikhathini ezingcono,” usho kanje. “Ngambona njengesitshalo esimila embewini futhi ekugcineni siqhakaza, (enezimo ezi-oblong, ezifana namaseli kancane kancane zihlangana zibe umbala obomvu oyindilinga namawolintshi." Futhi njengamanje, ulinganisa ukuma kwe-ballet ngobumba, evusa “umuntu osesimweni sokuphumula, njengokungathi untanta olwandle olupholile, ngaleyo ndlela eba ulwandle.”

UHateley uzoba nomsebenzi e-Affordable Art Fair e-Hong Kong ne-Linda Blackstone Gallery futhi uzofakwa kuyoArt & Soule-The Artful Gallery e-Surrey kanyeUmbukiso Wasehlobo wango-2023e-Talos Art Gallery e-Wiltshire kusukela ngoJuni 1 kuya ku-30. Uzophinde abe nomsebenzi noPure e-Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival kusukela ngoJulayi 3 kuya ku-10. Thola okwengeziwe kuwebhusayithi yomdwebi, futhi ulandele ku-Instagram ukuze uthole izibuyekezo nokubheka inqubo yakhe. .
