LC0549

A composition about stingrays. A flat body, wings spread wide, a long wavy tail — there is not a single straight line in the silhouette, and so the figure does not swim but glides.

Every element is curved its own way: the shoal lives, dives, turns. Gold winding tails rule the composition with a fine live graphic, like weed in a current.

By day it is white figures on gold lines — a piece read through the plasticity of the curves and the graphic of the tails. In the evening the points at the tips of the tails light up, the matte whiteness glows evenly and without glare, and the gold goes into shadow: what remains are glowing figures gliding through the dark.

Where it works

Above a table, in a stairwell, in a double-height entrance hall. The composition has no principal angle — it is beautiful from everywhere and is placed where people walk around it.

Style

Marine modern and Art Nouveau: gliding as subject. The message is calm and plastic — a piece for an interior that loves a line.
