The artwork features a striking black line composition against a stark white background. The lines intertwine and curve, creating a dynamic and organic form that seems to capture a sense of motion and fluidity. The minimalist approach, with its focus on the essential elements of line and negative space, suggests a modernist aesthetic that emphasizes simplicity and elegance. This abstract, wire-like sculpture likely aims to explore the relationship between form, space, and the viewer's perception, reflecting the artist's exploration of the fundamental principles of design and the expressive potential of minimalist art. ...
From the climate crisis to systems of power dynamics to technological automation, Nikita Gale creates large-scale installations that explore the socio-economic politics of space, visibility and transformation. Twisted metal barricades, concrete, microphone stands, spotlights, sound and light are used in her installations to investigate ways space and sound can be – and are– politicised. With a background in anthropology and archeology, Gale incorporates everyday consumerist objects, exploring their cultural significance and the role of their materiality in economic and social systems. Ruin, attention and structures are running themes of Gale’s multidisciplinary practice that recently has further focused on climate change and the resulting anxiety. The artist often approaches her audience as a social arena, with sound, silence, sculptural barriers and visibility becoming conditions to a politicised presence, both of the artwork and the viewer.
