A tribute to a leading exponent of Kinetic art, in honor of the centenary of Soto's birth
Published with RGR Gallery .
The Venezuelan painter and sculptor Jesús Rafael Soto (1923–2005) is exalted as a pioneer of Kinetic and Op art. Faced with a world in constant movement, Soto responded in kind, employing his knowledge of geometry and negative space to create three-dimensional works that appear to vibrate or shift in space. He worked with unorthodox materials such as nylon, Perspex, steel and industrial paint to attain this destabilizing effect.
Published to commemorate the centenary of the artist's birth, The Instability of the Real showcases arresting reproductions of Soto's works, immersing readers in his innovative experiments with movement, perception and space. The volume offers rare insights into his creative processes, the cultural context of his time and his profound impact on the art world, featuring a series of scholarly essays as well as a suite of five interviews with the artist, marking each decade from 1960 to 2000.
