Wire art, also known as wire sculpture is an indispensable branch of recent art. Popularized by Alexander Calder, employing wires of single strands to produce net like sculptures of products and living beings that are minimalist and abstract, wire art has been given by artists who sometimes decide to deviate in the mainstream. This kind of art form made from wire is KAYA by Racso Jugarap. In the creating and modeling of KAYA, Racso capitalized relating to the endless possibilities that wire art world. KAYA, that is arts is 3 dimensional and is weaved based on philosophy of self. Racso made KAYA to become portal to somewhere – perhaps to one’s aspirations and dreams. Finally he concludes which everybody costs nothing to interpret the piece, being in keeping with the philosophy of self.
As a wall sculpture, KAYA embodies a tear shape having an airy loop at the center connected by spider web like weave round the sides, fringing the empty circle in the center. What makes KAYA be noticeable may be the dimensional geometry of the web which is palpable when held on the wall. KAYA can be a masterpiece in their own right, lovingly conceived by desire for wall installation and wire art.
The idea of KAYA isn’t wholly new – Racso derived it from his Sofia pieces. There’s an overlapping design quality. He was quoted saying that Sofia is really a gargantuan wire piece resembling interconnected cocoons. His pieces has made it so far as Los Angeles, California, Ny, Paris, France and Milan, Italy, being testimony to the covetous value and artistry sense.
Racso is worked up that KAYA is up to be featured at All4Home event in Brussels, Belgium plus Maison et Objet Paris for public viewing. When asked the thing that makes his wire pieces unique in the other wire sculptures, he was quoted saying, “I guess because I never do every bit perfectly. My motto has long been, loving the beauty of imperfections which made the piece more interesting. I do believe each Racso J pieces have their own signature or thumbprint. A tale to tell. ”In an encapsulation, KAYA personifies the infinite variations possible in the realm of wire art and interior design and that he is happy that his work gets due recognition and appreciation.
