Author: Rui Sanches (Lisbon, Portugal, 1954)
Title: Untitled
Year of creation: 2003
Materials and dimensions: Corten steel. 600 x 350 x 370 centimeters
The thin sheets of steel accumulate to create shapes until the figure gently emerges. Each sheet is designed and worked one by one, in a slow construction process, in which the sculpture is built from bottom to top, following, on some sides, the geometric layout, and on others, sinuous organic forms. The viewer is led to walk around the pieces to discover the differences in their various profiles. They are two modules facing each other, in dialogue, which, as Rui Sanches points out, thrive on the relationships established between them, with the space in which they are located, and, most importantly, with the spectators.
