Torsion

About the Painting

Six chairs united forming a kind of molecular structure. The way they're drawn is giving them an inward bound twist making the whole decoratively flat and three-dimensional at the same time.From Artist's Statment at Saatchi Art

The radial symmetry of this piece makes it easy to miss that those are chairs, a favorite subject of the artist. The twist of the chairs adds a dynamic motion to the piece that draws you in. -JF

About the Artist

Artist Herman Kuypers
Kuypers graduated in 1990 at the Academie voor Beeldende Vorming Tilburg in drawing and painting. Since that time he has worked on a collection dominated by chairs depicted in very different ways. Perspective is another important element in these works. These works are drawn with pencil or painted with watercolor.
