艺术家Katrien Vanderlinden在比利时的阿尔斯特（Aalst）篮球场上涂鸦了由玩具积木激发起创意灵感的彩色几何形状。

Vanderlinden的Ezelsplein篮球场装饰是基于一个名为逻辑块的儿童数学推理游戏，它是由不同形状、大小和色彩的正方形、矩形、三角形和圆形组成。

Artist Katrien Vanderlinden has painted colourful shapes inspired by toy bricks onto a basketball court in the Belgian city of Aalst.
Vanderlinden's Ezelsplein mural is based on a children's mathematical reasoning game named Logical Blocks, which comprises squares, rectangles, triangles and circles, in different shapes, sizes and colour.

受到这些形状的启发，她在传统的篮球场标记之间增加了三角形、圆形和矩形，为当地的孩子们创造了其他游戏空间。

用蓝色、黄色和粉红色的色块来填充这些形状，作为对大胆和生动的孟菲斯艺术运动的“颂歌”。

Inspired by these shapes, she added triangles, circles and rectangles in between the traditional court markings – creating spaces for the local children to play other games.
Block colours in hues of blue, yellow and pink were chosen to fill in the shapes, as an "ode" to the bold and graphic Memphis art movement.

Vanderlinden告诉Dezeen说，“我的灵感来自于一盒积木的图片，我喜欢简单的线条和形状—例如正方形、矩形、圆形以及各种尺寸的三角形，这些都是装在这个盒子里的。”

“我喜欢这个设计，不但可以打篮球，还为孩子们创造了额外的空间来组建自己的游戏。”

"I was inspired by an image of a box of building blocks. I loved the simple lines and shapes – squares, rectangles, circles, triangles of all sizes –  that all fitted in this box," Vanderlinden told Dezeen.
"I like the fact that you can play the basketball game and that this design creates extra spaces for children to make up their own games."

为了回应越来越多的人在社交媒体上发表的无人机摄影图，艺术家设计了这个项目，从高空中观看十分美丽。这幅篮球场装饰图的鸟瞰图看起来像在盒子里堆叠在一起的不同的体块。

她说：“无人机现在也很普及，所以制作一个能从空中角度看整体的艺术作品，这并不是一个疯狂的想法。”

The artist designed the project to be best-seen from above, in response to the increasing popularity of drone photography of basketball courts on social media. A bird's eye view of the mural looks like the different blocks stacked together in their box.
"Drones are also widespread nowadays, so to make an artwork that can only be viewed as a whole from an aerial point of view isn't such a crazy idea," she said.

Vanderlinden的壁画灵感来自类似市中心的篮球场，也被称为疯狂篮球公园，这些场地都是通过缤纷的色彩来装饰改造的。

此前，艺术家卡夫斯（Kaws）在纽约市的两个篮球场上绘制了他的作品，威利安•拉奇斯（Willian Lachance）在圣路易斯的一系列篮球场上创作了一幅巨大的壁画。

Vanderlinden's mural takes inspiration from similar inner-city basketball courts, also known as hype courts, which have been spruced up with colourful makeovers.
The ongoing trend has previously seen artist Kaws paint his signature motifs across two basketball courts in New York City and Willian Lachance create a giant mural across a series of basketball courts in a St Louis.

像这些早期的项目一样，Vanderlinden想要以快速和廉价的方式向内城地区注入新的活力。她向阿尔斯特市议会提出了这个想法，然后议会将她分配到城市的灰色柏油碎石Ezelsplein篮球场上涂鸦，旁边则是一个难民儿童的家作为她的空白画布。

Vanderlinden告诉Dezeen，“这是一个非常简单的方法来给社区创造一个新面貌。”“这些疯狂篮球公园将不同领域聚集在一起：体育、艺术、文化和青年。”

“当你走在街上时，一切都是灰色的：街道，房子的正面，甚至连天空都是灰色的，”她解释说。“事实上，你可以将色彩带入人们的日常生活中，这真是太棒了。”

As with these earlier projects, Vanderlinden wanted to breathe new life into an inner city area quickly and cheaply. She proposed the idea to Aalst City Council who then assigned her with the city's grey tarmac Ezelsplein court next to a home for refugee children as her blank canvas.
"It's a very simple way to give a neighbourhood a facelift," Vanderlinden told Dezeen. "These Hype Courts bring different domains together: sports, art, culture and youth."
"When you walk down the street everything is grey: the streets, the facades of the houses, even the sky is grey," she explained. "The fact that you can bring colour in the everyday life of people is just amazing."

在当地社区10名志愿者的帮助下，Ezelsplein篮球场的涂鸦工作在两周内完成。

The Ezelsplein court paintwork was completed within two weeks, thanks to the help of 10 volunteers from the local community.
