Jim Hunter : Mobile Sculpture

$2,500List Price

About the Item

This modern mobile is a kinetic sculpture by contemporary New York artist/sculptor Jim Hunter. Jim Hunter (b. 1963) was born in the Pacific Northwest and had a passion for art at a very young age. He studied "Advertising Art" in Seattle, Washington, and migrated south to Santa Barbara, California to work as a graphic designer. With his creative juices flowing, he headed to New York City and became a graphic artist for Sony Music. As a full time artist/sculptor Jim Hunter has studios in NYC and Sherman, CT. His favorite medium to sculpt is metal. Whether using metal, steel, wire or found objects he has a great sense for the abstract, geometric, landscape and kinetic art. (Literature : Kinetic Art/ Kinetic Sculpture/ Mobile Kinetic sculptures are examples of kinetic art in the form of sculpture or three dimensions. In common with other types of kinetic art, kinetic sculptures have parts that move or that are in motion. The word kinetic means relating to motion. Kinetic art is art that depends on motion for its effects. Since the early twentieth century artists have been incorporating movement into art. This has been partly to explore the possibilities of movement, partly to introduce the element of time, partly to reflect the importance of the machine and technology in the modern world, partly to explore the nature of vision. Movement has either been produced mechanically by motors or by exploiting the natural movement of air in a space. Works of this latter kind are called mobiles. A mobile is a type of kinetic sculpture constructed to take advantage of the principle of equilibrium. It consists of a number of rods, from which weighted objects or further rods hang. The objects hanging from the rods balance each other, so that the rods remain more or less horizontal. Each rod hangs from only one string, which gives it freedom to rotate about the string.
