Carlos Cruz-Diez’s sculpture “Transchromies à Six Éléments” is a work composed of six vertical panels of translucent acrylic, each with different colors. These panels overlap to create a play of transparencies and chromatic interactions. The colors range from vibrant tones that blend as the viewer moves around the sculpture, creating new color combinations. The base of the piece is solid and geometric in shape, providing stability and contrast with the lightness of the panels. This work is an example of Cruz-Diez’s innovative use of color and light, where the hues are not fixed, but change with the viewer’s position and the ambient light, promoting a dynamic sensory experience.
The main characteristic of Cruz-Diez's work, as seen in this sculpture, is the concept of color as a constantly changing phenomenon, influenced by external factors such as perspective and light.
The edition comes with a numbered and signed certificate of authenticity.
