Art swimming pool design

Nera, Xitang

The Art Swimming Pool is a re-creation of Ding Yi’s painting “Ten Appearance of Crosses 2015-7”, which was transformed from a flat painting to a three-dimensional swimming pool space. French artisans based in Jingdezhen hand-fired thousands of mosaic tiles in 64 different patterns that are faithful to the original, and then hand-coded and collaged them one by one, taking more than half a year to complete.
“What I hope to achieve between the pool and the painting is a new, three-dimensional, visual connection. This connection belongs to the painting, to the environment, and to the new meanings that are created when it is used.” Ding Yi explains his concept, “The reason for choosing this work is that the original itself is in the shape of a rectangle, which is perfect for the size of the pool. At the same time, the original work is rich in detail, which enhances the expressive power of the pool and the water combination. Such a pool is not just an ordinary hotel pool, it has more artistic meanings that can be interpreted, it is like a huge picture in which the user can interact and explore, and even have the surprise of becoming one with the work.”
