From Sicardi | Ayers | Bacino:
“Zephyr features a selection of the artist’s kinetic sculptures. De Movellán draws upon the influences of his architect father and abstract painter mother in the creation of his sculptures, which perfectly balance both parents’ influences in their precise construction and their refined and detailed, yet unpredictable, movements. Employing great technical mastery, de Movellán designs outdoor, tabletop, and hanging sculptures set into motion by wind and touch, inspired by those elements in nature which are subject to the movements of air, including the weather, birds, and trees. This exhibition especially highlights the artist’s return to incorporating wood into his sculptures after an 18-year hiatus from the material. As de Movellán states, “When I first began my journey into kinetic art, I was moving from furniture making and boat building. My extensive use of various types of wood felt right to me. The warmth and often highly figured pieces of wood were a beautiful contrast to the cool, hard edges of the metal I used.”
