Miguel Ângelo Rocha
We rarely present contemporary art - not because we don't like it but because due to copyrights it is more difficult for us to feature it. But thanks to MUDAM Luxembourg today we can show you this intruguing piece of art created by the Portuguese artist. Enjoy!
Miguel Ângelo Rocha’s (b. 1964, Lisbon) sculptures employ a wide variety of materials, many of which are characterised by their fragility such as cardboard, bamboo, feather, stone, rice paper amongst others. This sculpture takes the form of a three-dimensional drawing in space. Dynamic, red lines appear to extend from an object at the base of the sculpture. Drawn in the form of a rough sketch, appearing unconscious and random, they invade the space in an extensive composition. Appearing to spring off the gallery floor or bounce against the walls, it reverberates and echoes, appropriating the space to appear like a giant, automatic drawing.
P.S. One of our favorite contemporary artists who "draw in the space" is Chiharu Shiota. Check her amazing installation here!
