Geometric Earring | Oiticica Earring | Art Inspired | Perfect Gift for Art Lovers | Small
Inspired by the sculpture "Spatial Relief (red) REL 036", 1959, by brazilian artist Hélio Oiticica, that is part of the permanent collection at Tate Modern in London.
Oiticica suspended this work from the ceiling so that viewers would have to walk around it. He wanted us to become active participants in the work. Only by walking around it can you see the difference in colour and shapes on both sides. It is painted in two very similar colours, chosen for their reaction to light. Oiticica was influenced by the ordered abstraction of artists such as Piet Mondrian and Kazimir Malevich, whose work is also on display in this room. But Oiticica introduced elements of movement and change, emphasising the bodily experience of his work.
This earring is based in one point of view of the sculpture.
