4th Sculpture 1965

Michael Bolus's '4th Sculpture' is a playful exploration of form, constructed from painted metal. The arrangement of yellow, orange, and brown elements presents a dynamic composition where each curve seems to dance around the other. The sculpture's charm resides in its ability to question the relationship between positive and negative space. The cut-out shapes are not just absences; they actively define the structure and its interplay with light and shadow. These curved forms challenge our perception of stability and permanence. The bright color palette further enlivens the work, lending it a sense of buoyancy. '4th Sculpture' prompts us to consider how shape and color alone can convey movement and emotion. This sculpture is a testament to the transformative potential of simple forms when arranged with careful consideration. It leaves us to contemplate the ever-evolving dialogue between art and perception.
