Cathédrale de Maguelone
UNIVERSALIS & VOID
UNITED-KINGDOM
This series marks artist Ryan Hopkinson’s first exploration of man’s impact on his environment.
Each image is a dialogue between art and nature, where immense metal shapes, resembling delicate sketches, rise up from the landscape.
By placing these sculptures in the landscape in this way, the artist invites walkers to witness the gradual integration of these forms into the natural environment, to see it in a new light.
Universalis is a testament to the delicate balance between creation and dissolution, a visual exploration of the dialogue between permanence and ephemerality.
Proposed by Florence Moll (FMA)
