Special edition by Abraham Palatnik, produced exclusively to celebrate the gallery's five years, in the month that coincides with the artist's 90th birthday.
The engraving on PVC, vacuum-molded (a technique called vacuum forming), creates kinetic reliefs that are revealed by the interaction between the lights and shadows of the environment and the work.
Biography
Abraham Palatnik
Internationally recognized as a precursor of the movement that became known as Kinetic Art, Palatnik is featured in the most important collections in Brazil. With an extensive curriculum of exhibitions and awards, the artist is also an inventor. He studied in Tel Aviv, but it was in Brazil, in the 1950s, that he began to develop his work as an artist. He participated in the 1st São Paulo Biennial with his first cinechromatic device and received a special mention from the international jury. From then on, he developed his research on light, color and movement, creating objects with moving parts that work through electrical energy or “move” through optical illusion.
From the beginning, Palatnik has made every part of his works himself: from cutting the wood, a constant material in his work, to designing the small and complex motors that allow some of his works to move. He was part of the Frente Group, contributing to the debate in Brazil about abstract art and is considered by Mário Pedrosa to be responsible for developing a language of rupture. He also participated in the Venice Biennale, the Mercosul Biennale and the important Art et Mouvement exhibition in the 1960s. His work is in the collections of the MAM in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, MAC - Niterói, MAB - Brasília, among others.
