Gego. Line as Object

My first Gallery I visited at Leeds whilst starting Leeds College of art, was at the Henry Moore Institute where I viewed the exhibition Gego Line as Object. Gertrude Goldschmidt was a modern Venezuelan artist and sculpture, who created very popular artwork around the 1960s-1970s as it was this time when Geometric abstract art and Kinetic art was very popular.





Gego. Line as Object is Gertrude Goldschmidt first UK's solo exhibition, where she explores the unrivalled engagement with the issues of form and space. This exhibition was very modern and spacious with a lot of negative space even though the exhibition space was filled with a vary of 3D sculpture's and 2D work. I was amazed by the 3D sculptures and how delicate and interesting they looked even though they was created with such a basic material such as steel wire.

I really enjoyed viewing this exhibition even though its not really like the art work I tend to produce as I don't tend to create work that's fragile and delicate, but it was useful to see and gave me ideas that I could use in my future work as I loved all the negative space.
