Unwoven Light

installation

2013

A biomorphic ceiling of suspended shaped chain link fence units with iridescent plexiglas squares fixed into its cells washes the environment with an ever-changing rainbow of light. The structure is a filter that captures the light and forces it to reveal itself.

Sculptural Paintings of Simon Hantai

sculptural paintings

of

Simon Hantai

"Carving into colour, it might itself be understood as a quasi-sculptural process... the carefully modelled central figure stands out powerfully from the painting giving 

the illusion of three-dimensionality... the painted areas' surprisingly sculptural masses are forms as if cut out against the nonpainted far more than internally cut or interrupted by the nonpainted"

Colourful structures without meaning and purpose - Frank Stella's new 3D works combining weight and solidity with a musical fluidity don't present any meaning or story - they only present monumental, colourful, structures:  "what you see is what you see". But what a joy to the eye and the senses, what a refreshing energy and dynamism.
