Curves and Circles (Sculpture By The Sea 6)

A treat for the weekend: a collection of sculptures where curves are the main feature.
Above: M-thirteen by James Parrett. Made of aluminium and marine ply. The artist says: " A continuing fascination with the aesthetic potential of the circular form. Through the dissection and reconfiguration of arcs, new and intriguing possibilities are created."

I certainly found it aesthetically pleasing, and it gave me a sense of harmony and calm.

Below: Keizo Ushio by Oushi Zokei 2008. This much more solid work, of white granite, also please me. This renowned Japanese artist has exhibited ten times in Sculpture by the Sea.



Above: Obelisk by Leonard Sabol, who says: "Obelisk is proof to myself that I can make anything of steel."


Above: Sky Catcher II by Bob Emser. Made of stainless steel and aluminium.

Reminds me of Native North American dream catchers. Through the work, on the sea you can see Spheres by Sophie Hoppe, pvc and polystyrene spheres bobbing on the sea. Hoppe says: "This work is a kinetic installation portraying an invisible constraint" (...errr, whatever that means!)

Tomorrow: From curves to lines and planes
