Tension by Richard Deacon

"I think it’s difficult to distinguish form from the imaginative ways one constructs form, so I think when it’s successful the material is present, the form is present, the structure is present, the associations are present, and the sense of meaning—or the possibility of meaning—is also present. There are some things which are very concrete, but equally some things which are much less concrete—which aren’t concrete at all—but should be present with the same force. What I think gives the sculpture its drive or its potency is a tension between what you can see and what you can’t see, what you imagine, or you picture, or you construct, refer to or associate with—all of those things. The sculpture retains its physicality while allowing a richness of readings, but it never ceases to be a particular kind of physical object, a particular identifiable physical object made of a particular material."

Gostei acima de tudo das formas inesperadas e totalmente novas. São possíveis, hoje ainda, formas novas, ou haverá sempre ecos de alguma coisa? Gosto também da forma inequivocamente sólida das esculturas, os materiais ganham voz, impõem-se no espaço.
