Geodes, colorful plexiglass, concrete … and, oh, that neon LIGHT! These sculptures are the work of Texas-born, Brooklyn-based artist Esther Ruiz. I was instantly smitten, and went in search of the what, why, how behind her work… I found it on Artsy:
Listen beautiful relax classics on our Youtube channel.
Constructing her sculptures from hydraulic cement, colored Plexiglas, paint, and other industrial materials, Esther Ruiz uses a minimalist vocabulary to create relics of imagined experiences. Of her creative process, she says: ”The imagery I work with is born out of exploring and researching fictional places imagined in my mind … Ultimately, my work exists as an effort to visually explain an emotional state of mind with mathematical acuteness.” She begins with a collection of emotions, memories, impressions of light, and sounds, then translates them into an abstract geometric aesthetic. The cylinder, the semicircle, the triangle, and other Euclidean forms are combined into colorful and expressive freestanding sculpture.
“Fictional places imagined in my mind” … sigh. Love.
