"Extensible Disc" is part of the artist's broad sculptural work, which uses steel wires to express the suggestion of planes and volumes with lines and points. Wood often serves as a support for this language.
A long wooden rod that suggests a line is in two situations: one fixed to the wall and the other on a base on the floor. At the top of the rod there is a circle of steel wire arranged by a solution that the artist calls plastic mechanics. This circle suggests a disk, and at the moment that plastic mechanics occurs, a line extends with a point at the end, and this point activates a space and transforms the circle into a disk.
The work is presented in two versions, wall or base.
Biography
Carlos Bevilacqua
Carlos Bevilacqua works with sculptures and installations. Using a variety of materials, he seeks to achieve stability in the coexistence of the parts of his small universes, tensioned in space like forces in a field that sometimes repel and sometimes attract each other. This game of contradictions stabilizes as soon as his works achieve their characteristic refinement, as well as perfect formal balance.
By employing synthetic and primary forms such as lines and dots in wood or steel, his works suggest a maturity that is immediately called into question by their playful appearance, referring us to historical references in art such as Calder's mobiles and Miró's sculptures.
Time (dynamic or slow) and emptiness are other pillars that rationalize his works to interrupt space harmoniously.
His work is part of the collection of important institutions such as FUNARTE (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil), Inhotim (Minas Gerais, Brazil), MAM - Museum of Modern Art of Rio de Janeiro (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) and MAC USP - Museum of Contemporary Art of the University of São Paulo (São Paulo, Brazil).
