Made from formex, colored paper, zinc, and balsa wood, the Proun World sculpture takes inspiration from the paintings and installation of Suprematism and Constructivism artists, most specfically the 1920s Proun painting series by the Soviet artist, architect, and designer El Lissitzky (1890 - 1941). The sculpture consists basic geometry shapes connected to each other in a 3D composition, shown with a clear emphasis on movement and dynamics.
The final form is an interpretation made from a detailed analysis of Lissitzky’s Prouneraum (Proun Room) in 1923, borrowing theoretical and technical concepts of the time-space, imaginary space, and an interdisciplinary outlook on art, architecture, and design. I used precise composition and construction to present abstract floating objects to evoke the spirit of Lissitzky’s innovative vision.
