José Soler Art - Steel Silk. Red (Wall Sculpture)

Introductory note by José Soler: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xmToe0GrYo Explanation of the work: Metal or steel is one of the hardest and most resistant materials we have. As a master of steel, I am used to feeling its hardness and strength, and when I see that force represented in the essence of metallic sculptures, I am reminded of it. Yet with this new collection I want to do the opposite: something even more challenging, which is to imbue sensitivity and deceive the viewer by presenting a sculpture made from hard, resistant steel that looks like silk, that appears to be a sensitive and elegant piece, simple and delicate yet visually powerful. They are pieces of stainless steel finished with reliefs, with meticulous attention to every detail. With them I seek a freer elegance and the desire to create a deception in the viewer’s mind, like a trompe l’oeil. They are forged works with the utmost care, in an idyllic setting, in full connection with steel and art. They are born with the sound of each fold, of strength and delicacy, and from there the notes of their movements, seemingly wrinkled and open, flow. I am drawn to artisanal and groundbreaking designs; thus, with these vertical, wall-mounted sculptures, I aim to be part of a new reality where I seek color, texture, and sinuous forms. Who would say this is steel? These sculptures, with a magically wrinkled appearance, lead me to venerate this so primitive material, for it makes everything possible, without limits to creation or creativity. Even steel can seem as light as silk. The piece plays with a mirror-like effect that makes light rebound and generates spectacular plays of light and shadow, creating a sculpture at the forefront of contemporary art.

Through each of his pieces, he strives to bring out the melody that lives inside each of us. Soler cites the transformation of cold steel into sculpture as his way of connecting with what is invisible to our eyes and what can only be perceived with universal feelings.
