1. Introduction of Maman Spider Statue
Louise Bourgeois is a renowned French modern artist known for her bold and profound works that explore themes of family, motherhood, memory and emotion. “Maman” is one of her most iconic sculptures. This giant spider symbolizes maternal love, protection and vulnerability, and embodies Bourgeois’ deep emotions for her mother. She compared her mother to a spider, symbolizing the ability to protect and repair, and the Maman Spider Statue became a memorial to her mother. Bourgeois hopes that through this huge spider image, the audience can feel the tough and fragile sides of her mother.
This “Maman” sculpture is cast in bronze. The original Maman Spider Statue is 9 meters high and has great visual impact. The sculpture’s legs are slender and curved, forming a massive arched structure that seems to loom over the viewer, bringing a sense of envelopment and protection. An egg sac filled with marble eggs hangs from the spider’s body, symbolizing the continuation and gestation of life. The surface of the sculpture exhibits a natural patina tone, adding to the ancient and mysterious feel of the work. This giant spider image brings a sense of shock and awe, allowing people to think about the meaning of motherhood and protection while admiring the sculpture.
