Notes
A three dimensional realisation of Camila Quintero's experiments with geometry and the perception of colour.
This sculpture comes from a series entitled, The Life of a Day, in which a compilation of works traces the course of a day, and the effects of changing light conditions. In the artist's word, "It is a narration of the stages of a day, not just a single day but time fragmented on what could be any day." The transparent nature of the acrylic forms and the construction of individual pieces offers multiple colour possibilities.
Camila's "optical distortions" span art, architecture, photography and design. "Deconstruction and optical distortion are recurrent throughout my work and refer to the response of the perceptual connection we have with our surroundings and the impact that they have on us."
A recent graduated of Camberwell College of Arts, Camila has already created a unique way to work with abstract geometry by using both fluid and controlled automatism.
