Mitsuo Takeuchi - Transfiguration 'LINK' XL

Description

Sculpture:  Transfiguration 'LINK' XL

Artist:  Mitsuo Takeuchi

Artist Bio:  

Mitsuo Takeuchi studied at the Kyoto Municipal University of Fine Arts. He has won many awards and has regularly exhibited in Sydney’s Sculpture by the Sea. One of his sculptures graces a Sydney Harbour walking track near Mosman.

Takeuchi says his work is about creating an essence and transforming shapes into ideal forms. He embraces the challenge of using a material, stainless steel, that is thought to be inorganic and cool and imbuing it with warmth, movement and dynamism. The polished surfaces transmute the colors, light movements and shadows of the surroundings into radiant lines. Although minimalist and abstract, it is also an exuberant and joyous gesture of greeting to the cosmos. Its gravity-defying undulations complement the cantilevered branches of the eucalypts.

Artist Interpretation: Mitsuo Takeuchi, hailing from Japan, has been pursuing a theme of transfiguration, which is a change of forms and shapes, and also means transforming into ideal forms. I am trying to make concepts of position and topologies visible as one substance.
