Ralf Westerhof - Duet 7, Kinetic Sculpture 2009

Unlike two dimensional drawings the relative position of the viewer generates new 2D interpretations of the 3D sculpture . The work is created by minimal use of lines captuing the a strong feel of plasticity and mass. Viewer's mind instantly use the lines to divide the space and fill in the image where needed.
For his moving works the artist works with contemporary dancers in order to create movement that he can translate to sculptures. This intuitive process leads to figurative works of human bodies through which abstract qualities are communicated. Qualities like the constant changing of waves or of the flames in a fire while at the same time they don't seem to be changing at all. And they address balance or the lack thereof, in many levels.
