Porsche 356 – Asymetrique inox
Description of the artwork:
Base in STAINLESS STEEL, polished solid ALUMINUM wheels. Body made of painted steel plates.
"In the pages of automotive history, the legendary Porsche 356 remains a timeless icon, with irresistible charm. Here is my new interpretation of this rolling myth. Some years ago, in 2017 to be exact, I explored this model, and it was the first of my longitudinal sculptures. I named it: "Asymmetric 356". It embodies an unprecedented concept, resolutely focused on the kinetic effect. Asymmetry creates an illusion in our brains that is generated by the perceived imbalance.
Our brain tends, in anticipation, to imagine the logical sequence of events, and when it sees an asymmetric object, it projects itself into the object's movement, imagining it falling or rising. I decided to use this trick in my quest to represent movement and speed!
Through this work, I aimed to engage in a dialogue with the viewer, offering a dynamic experience that transcends the limits of the static. Every curve, every line is deliberately "unbalanced", evoking perpetual motion within stillness. Transparency and the play with perspectives guide this creation, inviting the observer to explore each angle to discover a new vision.
In some respects, "Asymmetric 356" almost conceals itself, to better reveal its splendor through a different prism. In this raw metal finish, the microblasted stainless steel reveals a sculpture in perpetual evolution where interaction is an essential element of the artistic experience."
