Evren Erol’s Changing Mixed-Media Sculptures

Evren Erol’s mixed-media sculptures appear to exist in states of change, dissipating or entering into life. Blending acrylic painting on polyester and wood, the artist is able to convey figures that are seemingly liquid in nature. And while cerebral in concept, the work’s most striking quality is how visceral that transformation appears.

“The thoughts and the concepts shaping his statues and his own existence according to the conditions are described as the reflection of the change in subconscious,” a statement says. “It produces within the framework of basic metaphors like the concepts of change, transformation, contrast, rejection and acceptance.”

Barcelona, Spain based artist David Moreno has found a unique approach to translating his drawings into the third dimension. His series titled "Drawing in Space" features sculptures made of steel wires that emulate the fast and energetic style of drawing in a rather wild and sometimes uncontrolled way. Though they are built using a stiff material, Moreno's sculptures of surreal floating cabins, chairs, and figures exhibit a certain delicacy and tenderness. Using a similar technique to cross-hatching, he is able to create tonal or shading effects of carefully placed lines that are viewed from a specific vantage point.

At close range and from afar, these intricate structures create different conversations.
