Four symmetrical points, necessarily located on two surfaces that form an angle between them, support the set of elements that form the work “Horizontal Droop – reduced”. The larger circle is cut in half by the blue and red lines, as is the smaller one, concentric and perpendicular to the former; the lines, in turn, are wrapped around the nails and kept taut by the metal weight installed at their ends. Tensioned elements, a set in balance.
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his works suggest a maturity that is immediately called into question by their playful appearance, referring us to historical references in art such as Calder's mobiles and Miró's sculptures.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).
