Rectangular windows II (diptych), 2023

George Koutsouris   Best sellers

A kinetic sculpture, activated by air currents.
This was a commissioned piece based on the work 'Rectangular windows', according to the customer's dimensions wish.
In each of the two cabinets, fourteen colored rectangular tubes are hung from a strong thin thread, in an elaborate way that offers several degrees of freedom. The tubes can move and rotate with the slightest air currents, making the artwork responsive to movement in space. Thus, the work ‘socializes’ with the presence of people in the room, while it can stay still when no life exists around.
The result is a continuously-changing pattern of lines and colors.

The best location seems to be close to a window or anywhere there is some traffic by people and smooth air currents are present (indoors of course!).

Materials:
High-quality, acid-free card stock tubes, reinforced with an extra card stock layer inside. Plywood case, painted with non-fading polyurethane paint, resistant to scratches. Strong polyester thread.
The work has a very long life, provided that is placed inside a room with low humidity and no extreme temperature differences (like any other artwork).
