Color Dance. A painted metal sculpture by RJ Art
The lively Color Dance is a different 3D formation than Dance I, Dance II, and Bold , but identical to Sentinel---except for their mounting orientation. The multiple colors may suggest invitation to a dance outdoors, in the garden.
The sculpture shows identical shapes and placement on each side but each shape's color is excchanged with that of its counterpart on the opposite side. The interplay of the painted color areas with the curved 3D surface weaves over and under, imparting a sense of depth. The asymmetric forms and colored shapes change with viewing direction, giving the observer a feeling of motion and interaction with the pieces. Reflected images suggest a connection with the surroundings.
Limited edition of six (6).
Sculptures are formed from single sheets of metal (stainless steel) and then finished using paints and processes identical to those found in automotive and aerospace applications. This provides the resilience, quality, and low-maintenance feature for all of these works.
In context pieces can be assembled with other complementary ones to create new works with added tension, interaction, and intrigue. All are suitable for outside placement .
The images include various perspectives of Color Dance, as well as arrangements with the other sculptures of this series.
Note: The base size and form of the final, finished sculpture is as shown in the first product image. The base design has evolved during development of the finished sculpture, and some images show bases of earlier versions with slightly different diameter and height.
Collection: Curved Space Sculptures
Design Concepts and Creation
Transformation of the space from 2D to 3D radically defines perception. Use of “curved space” is a convenient description of spatial transformation and it uses terminology from physics and astronomy about space and gravity .
Inspiration for this work comes from observing the natural world – it’s form, motion, structural substance, and properties of natural light. The sculptures are studies in positive and negative space balance and transformation of painted figures on curved surfaces.
The sculptures are non-objective and don’t represent any specific thing in particular, but they stir emotions and impressions that are unique to one’s life experience.
In this spirit all sculptures are made for interior as well as exterior use . Pieces can be displayed individually or assembled with others of the series to form more complex sculptures.
All of the works in this series usually are made first at studio size (e.g., 12 to 20 inch high), but they can be scaled readily to five (5) feet high. Namaste, the large scale sculpture in our listing, is an example approxiimately (4) ft in height. The initial Namaste sculpture is currently exhibited at Artscape7/Fayetteville NC.
Sizes of all the pieces in this series can be scaled to approximately seven (7) feet high with available commercial fabrication resources.
Creation of these sculptures at the RJ Art studio starts with design of small maquettes, made with colored papers and painted aluminum. Materials used for the sculptures include corrosion resistant stainless steel, (automotive/aerospace ) paint/finish, and a resilient base/mounting composite construction. This ensures resiliency of a construction that has robust , colorful artwork but also requires minimal maintenance for outdoor use. Final finishing and assembly onto base/mounting is done in the certified facilities of JD Henley Creations/Byron MN.
