L'three-dimensional art built on a canvas, paintings that touch each other, look at each other, as the material unfolds in a thousand shades.
We are talking about the 3D paintings by Bruce Mackley, the artist who created a work called Descent consisting of 20,000 vines on a painted pine board.
Two- and three-dimensionality together to compose beauty. The new frontier of the unpainted painting, or rather of the three-dimensional painting, comes from the hands and mind of an artist who has composed a mosaic that is half sculpture and half drawing.
The work depicts a sleeping woman with red hair, wrapped in a white sheet: a work that required hundreds of hours of patience and attention to detail.
The greatest difficulty was adjusting the screws to achieve the desired three-dimensional effect: the metal floats under the eyes, giving soft sensations of extraordinary delicacy.
Descent weighs about 160 kg and is over 2 metres high. For this reason, Mackley had to make a special trolley to move the piece.
The work will soon be exhibited in Michigan at the Big Old Buildingin downtown Grand Rapids, on the occasion of ArtPrize 9.
