Kinetic Object 1986

"Kinetic Object" is a 1986 work by Brazilian artist Abraham Palatnik. This kinetic sculpture features a wooden base with moving parts, and is an example of Palatnik’s fascination with the dynamics of light and movement. The sculpture uses a combination of geometric shapes, colors, and mechanical elements to create a visually stimulating and engaging experience. Palatnik is best known for his pioneering contributions to kinetic art, where his sculptures become dynamic, interactive art pieces that are often light-based and have a playful and engaging nature. The abstract, geometric compositions and dynamic nature of these pieces are hallmark of his work.
