Artwork notes

Artist-wide context

He tried to show a moving body together with the air and forces around it.

Materials, marks and colour

Artist-wide context; individual works may differ.

Media and surface

Paint and sculptural models offered two ways to study forces in space.

Marks and structure

Repeated curves and intersecting planes prevent a figure from feeling sealed off.

Palette and light

Broken colour can suggest energy; sculpture instead relies on light crossing its surface.
