Variation on Color Seed Space Time Love (2009) by Ernesto Neto, via Bob van Orsouw
Currently on view at Bob van Orsouw in Zurich is Ernesto Neto‘s ‘Variations.’ Presenting his work for the second time at the gallery, in this show the artist displays his latest sculptures representing variations of biomorphic shapes. The viewer experiences these works in multi-sensory dimensions; they can enter, touch, and explore the established forms. Neto even experiments with the sense of smell in these works with different spices filling the inside of his sculptures.

The works fill each room with luminous shapes and forms almost creating architectural structures within them. The artist’s use of the medium of sculpture allows him to emphasize the meaning of the physical form by concentrating on volume, colors, surfaces, and materials. He thus experiments with the forces of gravity and inertia.
