Traces of the hand in acrylic
Gestural sculpture holds on to the motion of the arm: a swing, a tear, a throw of mass. You can look for gestural acrylic sculptures from 5,000 to 10,000 euro for sale when you want energy to stay visible in the material.
Acrylic allows gestures that stone hardly permits: paint is poured, sheets are bent, cuts tear lines into the surface. Because the material hardens fast, it preserves the trace of a moment. The impulse of making stays readable years later.

Room for big movement
Pieces in this band usually have scale and need open surroundings. Place them so you can walk around once, since gestural objects change their silhouette with every step. Backlight makes colored parts glow, while side light lets cut edges stand out clearly.
To clarify before buying
Ask about weight, base plate and how the parts are joined, because moving forms often have an unsteady center of gravity. It also matters whether the color is lightfast. A short record with signature and date belongs with work of this scale.
