Video: The magic of flowing water: dynamic park sculpture by Giles Reiner

Giles Rayner has been specializing in a special park sculpture for over ten years - the water sculpture. The point is that water creates the illusion of movement of a static structure. This adds extra charm to the sculpture. The master's works look good even in the dark. Night illumination transforms metal structures, through which water flows, into magic trees or magic spheres.
British sculptor Giles Rayner began by creating joint projects with his own father, who was already an accomplished artist at that time. Now the young author has two headquarters (or rather, headquarters studios) - in the counties of Devonshire and Gloucestershire.
What is the most convenient way for a creator of water sculptures to work with? The proven materials most often found in Giles Reiner's work are his beloved copper, bronze and stainless steel. In special cases, the sculptor is ready to use natural stone as well.
The combination of metal and water, embodying static (motionless) and dynamic (moving and changeable) principles, is a visual synthesis of the living and the dead. In addition, the flowing water softens the look of bare metal structures, which would have looked too rough without it.
The main principle of Giles Reiner's work is that the sculptor must think over how his new creation will fit into the landscape, taking into account, among other things, what buildings will surround it. Depending on this, he either embarks on bold experiments or adheres to the time-tested classic style. After all, you see, ultra-modern sculpture will not be appropriate in front of a Victorian mansion.
The collection of works by Giles Reiner includes both frankly futuristic creations (for example, "The Spiral"), and park sculpture, created specifically for old estates (such as the work "Topiary, or the Art of Shearing Trees").
Each Giles Reiner project that starts is a new challenge to oneself. Creating dynamic, energizing sculptures using water flows requires special skill and great dedication from the author.
The British sculptor knows how to find an approach to any terrain. His aquatic masterpieces "live" both at home and abroad. They decorate public spaces, private gardens and front areas.
