Lot description
Ramon Orlina (b. 1944) Visions of Inspiration signed and dated 2001 carved asahi glass 20" x 14" x 14" (51 cm x 36 cm x 36 cm) Accompanied by a certificate signed by the artist confirming the authenticity of this lot Orlina's abstract sculptures embody a captivating interplay of dynamic movement, achieved through a symphony of sharp bends and sleek edges that define a series of angles. These angles, rather than being rigid entities, represent the fluid lines that characterize his art. Through artful manipulation of natural light, which filters through the colored glass and becomes ensnared within different facets and angles, Orlina orchestrates an ever-shifting visual experience. No fixed perspective exists for his sculptures; they evolve with each viewer's vantage point, inviting interpretations that transcend the artist's original intention. Orlina's true accomplishment lies in liberating observers to perceive his creations through their own unique lens. The prismatic interplay of viewpoints conjures illusions that enrich the viewer's personal reading of the sculptures. Notably, the coexistence of strength and fragility further contributes to the timeless elegance inherent in Orlina's works. Most significantly, he injects the art form with an unprecedented sense of liquidity and motion, ushering in a fresh dimension to the established idiom. (Jed Daya)
