Color • Motion and Design by Julien Vallée
Saturday, May 28, 2011 at 3:26PM
The striking color and the motion of the composition in this sculpture caught my eye and led to exploring (and wasting a chunk of time - rationalized as collecting inspiration) the fascinating work of Canadian graphic design Julien Vallée at his Motion and Design website.
I don't use color in my work - or at least not very frequently. I find that motion and pattern are two very strong elements and adding a third complicates the design. I like the viewer to be able to interpret their own colors from the given elements.
I do encourage others whom possess an understanding of color theory and mechanics to explore that realm of kinetic art. As I have regularly said, too many ideas and not enough time!
Here is a photo of the last piece I created with color accents. Called Seascape, it was on display in our home for this photo but is now part of the incredible craft collection at the headquarters of Dansko in West Grove, PA. See earlier blog about Seascape here.

I quite honestly become giddy when looking at what people are doing in the realm of 'kinetic art.' As a performance/cabaret artist back ain the late 60's-70's, I worked with fire(my last performance rendered me 'persona non grata' in France...tant pis.) The works that I am seeing here are quite sophisticated, but in Paris YVES TANGUY, was putting most extraordinary works on stage and just letting them 'work themselves out.' KUDOS. GHD
