Carbon Halo 2008 Carbon powder laminate, powder coated aluminum and brass,brushed aluminum and stainless steel Maximum height 20 inches, maximum swing 22 inches
I am honored to present this recent book featuring the complete works of art by Pedro S. De Movellan, one of the most renowned kinetic sculptors of this era. As the son of both an architect and an abstract painter, there are influences and balances from each pattern of genetics to be seen in his very individualistic and incredible works.

| Lavanter, 2004, Powder coated aluminum, brass and stainless steel |
Each work of art is graceful and refined, the components detailed and exquisitely moving, literally!
 |
| Swiss Movement, 1993, mahogany, maple, bronze and mixed metals 108 x 98 x 16 inches including base |
Ranging in scale from the artist's first outdoor sculpture, the eight-foot-tall Lily in polished aluminum and gold leaf to the most recent carbon fiber works weighing mere ounces, this tome includes every sculpture de Movellán has created throughout his career.

| Untitled 2011 Carbon fiber laminate and tube, and powder coated aluminum maximum height 18.5 , maximum swing 18' |
You will find finely detailed conceptual sketches and schematics for select works that are absolutely intricate in their elements and structure. De Movellan even shows and explains specifications of the drive mechanisms that make for such magical movement in his works of art.

So interesting to to see the sketch as well as the works. Reminds you that sculpture might have its start as 2D.
Good morning Karena! I am way behind in my visits, but I must say that I admire artists who see beyond the canvas. I would NEVER think of using metal in this way, though my father was good at this sort of art. Lovely works do you display, and also, thank you for coming to visit. Bless you dear one, and may your spring get off to a good start! Anita
While this is not my favorite genre in art I can appreciate Lavanter. :)
Love this kind of sculpture - so much so that I did my final year of school art project on kinetic art.
But what is especially interesting here is to see the sketch and then the finished work. Fascinating to see how it evolved!
