Jesús Rafael Soto / Penetrable

After my research about rubber, Old serum tubes came to my mind and its reminded me of the Jesús Rafael Soto's "Penetrableblue" 3D work. I saw this work in The Miami / Perez Art Museum. The pipes used there were made of rubber-like material and were very similar in appearance. Thus, I wanted to focus on these works and the artist.

Jesús Rafael Soto (05.06.1923 - 14.01.2005)

He was a sculptor and a painter. He stated that he opposed the word "plastic" and made researches on the path of Optical Art.

In 1952-1953, it aimed to obtain vibrations with colored areas placed on a horizontal and vertical net. In 1957, he realized the first Vibratory Structure consisting of thin iron bars and ropes hung in front of a backdrop. With the displacement of the audience, the image gains motion and the format changes continuously. In the work, the form has lost its materiality. The audience itself, the place the audience is in, the time of displacement are the factors that change the perception of the work.

Soto has also designed three-dimensional works that can be entered into the audience, space, and light. The artist has produced at least 25 of these enterable, interactive works. Soto used thin and hanging tubes and rubber-like materials of different lengths. These works are completed after being perceived in the mind of the viewer.
