This object may seem as a creation of nature in away it visualizes the transitions or surrounding nature, such as changes in weather and sun rays or colors of sky and surroundings. Yet it very artificial as it comprises complex geometrical balance achieved by one piece of huge aluminum sheet. The conflicts within the architecture create its complex expressions. For instance, aluminum is hard but is smooth in its impression. The exhibit is organically formed and yet consists of innumerable geometrical shapes. The exhibit will be placed on the sunken garden in the second basement floor. Visitors can enjoy in many ways,by walking on the exhibit or seeing its whole picture from the ground level, 8 meters above. Location : Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo. Link here.
John Wesley (American, born November 25, 1928) is an American painter whose work bridges the aesthetics of Pop Art and Minimalism in both subject matter and style. A self-taught artist, Wesley began painting in 1953, while working as an illustrator for Northrop Aircraft in Los Angeles. His early career in the aircraft industry influenced his art, and lead to the presence of the airplane as a recurring motif in his work. In 1959, he married the American painter Jo Baer (b.1929), and one year later the couple moved to New York City, where Wesley would become part of the Pop Art movement and maintain close friendships with American Minimalist sculptors Donald Judd (1928–1994) and Dan Flavin (1933–1996). Although Wesley’s work often expressed more playful qualities than the work Judd created, Judd was an immediate and important sponsor of Wesley’s paintings, positively reviewing his shows and helping him to establish his reputation as an artist. Although Wesley adopted the flattened and brightly colored forms of Pop Art, his work did not criticize consumerism and seemed removed from Pop Art’s goals as he turned more to narrative, combining cartoon elements into his particular brand of high art.
” I make ceramic sculpture that some have said is shocking or disgusting. I believe I am only showing what we are all truly thinking or desire in some way. I do not set out to shock, because I don’t believe anything I have created is shocking, I believe it is truth and honesty. If my work does shock or offend then I have struck a nerve in the viewer and I say, ‘well done SIr!”. It’s the hypocrites I want, to present them with something so shocking, yet sculpturally beautiful that they can’t take their eyes off of it!” – Chris Riccardo

” I am fascinated by the notion of time and the game of body and time. Transparency and mutual merging of the two create continuous interaction, transformation and transgression. By merging between the spheres of physicality and image I want to look closer at the processes and their metaphysics.” – Lukasz Wodynski
