At first glance, this is probably the delicacy and lightness that best characterize the sculptures of Samuel Yal. Often
floating or suspended, sometimes fragmented as to let the air, their
fragility also falls within their delicate whiteness of their
meticulousness. From the outset, the original principles of sculpture are contradicted
because the work is not done more massive or compact, but exploded and
air, as weightless outlet.Using
the generally ceramics, the artist embodies a somewhat paradoxical
transparency since the shapes sketched while appearing to fade. The
tension between empty and full and is at the heart of his work, as we
perceive it with these fragmented bodies that rise in "corpuscle" and
"Termination II." In
the latter in particular, fragments snap a climb that is reminiscent
of the separation of body and mind, participating in an aesthetic of
sculpture where what matters is not always what key or is seen, but what escapes. Hence
it is giving an introspective depth to the work of the artist,
especially when considering these somewhat rigid postures, arms
outstretched, caught in time of meditation, or perhaps one of
expectation. h/t: BOUMBANG
Andy Goldswndyorthy
is a British sculptor, renowned in his field, that creates temporary
installations out of sticks and stones, and anything and everything else
that he finds outside. The son of a mathematician, Goldsworthy grew up
working on farms before eventually getting his BA from what is now the
University of Central Lancashire. “A lot of my work is like picking
potatoes,” he told the Guardian. “You have to get into the rhythm of it.”
Much of Goldsworthy’s work is transient and ephemeral, leading many to view it as a comment on the Earth’s fragility. But for Goldsworthy, the picture is more complex.
