Perspective is almost everything and we can look at the whole world around us from different points of view that give us a positive or negative look. In art we can talk about the same if the artist is able to change a work or sculpture so that it changes shape as the viewer moves. This optical effect can have great consequences if you know how to use it.
This happens with the French sculptor Matthieu Robert-Ortis who has used the influence of perspective in an ingenious and surprising sculpture, The revolution des Girafes. From one angle, a pair of graceful giraffes appears, but from another alternate point of view, it turns into a picture of a large elephant. Everything changes according to the viewer's perspective.
The artist himself explains that normal people tend to look at what is in front of their eyes, be it a tangible object or an abstract idea, but creative minds they usually explore different angles as alternatives to contemplate what one has in front of one.
Matthieu Robert-Ortis encourages those who view his sculpture to question your own perceptions and consider the possibilities from a new point of view. A proposal for those who come to see your The revolution des Girafes that is mutating in shape to go from a giraffe to a large elephant. A sculpture made with cables and that is based more on its concept than on its own technical realization.
Robert-Ortis has on the web y on Facebook so that you can follow their artistic works as the bedside. Just a year ago we were talking about another artist who has a great passion for the material that cable represents, Richard Stainhop. A material that allows great flexibility and sufficient firmness to create large figures.
