Waves, one of the latest works presented by Manuel Fendez in 2017
Waves is a new exploration of movement, energy and the interplay of light, shadow and volume.
Waves was one of the works presented by Manuel Fendez in 2017. Inspired by sets of waves and the energy of the sea, the piece was created to offer multiple viewpoints and an active relationship with space.
The work condenses some of the sculptor's fundamental concerns: movement, tension, shifting perception and the capacity of sculptural form to create lasting sensations.
Our living spaces need more sculpture
A reflection on bringing sculpture by an artist into everyday life, interior design and architecture.
Sculpture still has too limited a presence in many living spaces. Yet its capacity to transform how we perceive our surroundings, to bring identity and to stir emotion is enormous.
For years Manuel Fendez has argued for bringing sculpture by an artist into homes, interior design projects, hotels, showrooms and contemporary settings where art can naturally share everyday life.
