A few nice visual art images I found:
NYC – Chelsea: Carolina Nitsch Contemporary Art – In Direction
Image by wallyg
In Direction, an installation by Richard Dupont, was the first exhbition of the artist at the Carolina Nitsch Contemporary Art Gallery, at 534 West 22nd Streeet.
The installation consists of three large figures cast in polyurethane surrounded by mirrored panels which transform the exhibition space into a quasi-virtual, interactive environment. Presented in the storefront Project Room, the installation suggests a staged experience, albeit an inverted one, with the activity of the street outside brought inside, and the room itself expanded into a four dimensional spatial riddle.
Standing just over life size, the three figures appear to be liquefying when seen from certain angles or camouflaged from others. Like a number of Dupont’s installations since 2005, they are based on a three dimensional digital scan of the artist’s body. Before being molded and cast in resin, the body model has been distorted using visual computer effects. Once translated into three dimensional sculptures, the figures appear to be shifting shape as the viewer moves around them.
