The stunningly vivid sculptures by the American artist Ara Peterson are like constantly moving turntables, in which colors change each other, as if teasing with the viewer. And it is extremely difficult to believe that in fact these installations do not move at all, but stand still. They are static, and the effect of their movement is an artistic trick, cleverly created by Ara Peterson.
Three-dimensional wooden static sculptures by Ara Peterson thrill the viewer's imagination with a cleverly crafted optical illusion that shows them in the form of dynamic installations. To build such sculptural installations, the Rhode Island artist uses laser cutting on wood, combining all the particles in such a way as to create a visual trick and a repetitive effect.
In the sculptures of Ara Peterson, where the interaction of impressive static outlines and moving forms takes place, dynamics, variability and kinetic energy are felt. These works bring with them endless impressions for the audience.
Ara Peterson was born in 1973 in Boston, lives and works in Rhode Island, and most often her work can be seen in New York. And if someone happens to visit the city of the Big Apple, he can take the chance to visit art galleries, where, for sure, he will find works by Ara Peterson.
