Paloma Bosque is a Brazilian Contemporary artist who’s artworks are shaped around the ridged laws of physics and chemistry, whilst keeping an open mind towards change at the same time. The opacity of textures in a material or its pliability is what draws Bosques’ attention, as well as its weight and weightlessness.
Once again the minimalist colour pallet and limited materials that Bosque uses had helped create an artwork that stands out yet also appears to be quite reserved. The artwork starts with a brass rod which is joined/ attached to the wall with a tightly woven piece of black wool dangling from either side. Then an organic loose and free flowing pice of off white natural wool swoops down joining the two pieces of black wool together.
This artwork consists of a balanced composition of hand-felted wool balancing on a linear brass rod. The artwork is so light and makes you as the viewer feel more calm and at one with everything. It makes you think about the weight of the materials used and how they have an impact on the balance of the whole artwork. The black ball of resin and wax in the centre stands out in contrast against the wool and the white wall that it is displayed against, making it appear form a far that it’s only a resin ball attached to a Brass cross at first glance.
