About The Artwork

This kinetic sculpture is inspired by the work of Alexander Calder, the American sculptor who is best known for his innovative mobiles. Through the years I have become particularly interested in kinetic sculptures and in creating gently moving graphical structures. Mobiles' appearance is always changing. They seem to have a life of their own and I find them fascinating to look at. As the mobile moves, the metallic shapes catch the ambient light in interesting ways. This piece is titled: “Nuages de neige II” which is French for Snow Clouds. Raised on the Eastern Coast of Canada, I spent my winters playing in the snow. One of my favorite things to do was lying in the snow and looking at the snowflakes falling from the sky, twirling and shining until they reached the ground. These happy memories were the inspiration for this piece. You can see a video of this sculpture in motion here: https://youtu.be/wfjGHVDN8AA This very light sculpture is easily suspended with a simple open hook installed in the ceiling. I recommend suspending it near a window where the mirrors can catch the sunshine and create moving reflections.

Claudine Gévry is a multidisciplinary artist who dreams of creating a magical world where the vicissitudes of life are replaced with surprise and delight. She is inspired by artists like American sculptor Alexander Calder, inventor of the art of mobiles, as well as technology oriented & experimental artists like Amsterdam-based Studio Drift. Living on the West Coast of Canada, Claudine’s art is greatly influenced by her environment. Nature’s fragility, its impermanence and its ability to adapt to different circumstances are among the themes nurturing her work. Over the last few years, Claudine started integrating lighting technology in her traditional metal wire & kinetic sculptures. To help her achieve her vision in 2019 she co-founded Umbra & Lux, an innovative sculptural lighting company. Regularly exhibited in art galleries, her sculptural light installations can also be found in corporate settings like the University of British Columbia Pharmaceutical Sciences Building and in the offices of biotechnology company, AbCellera, in Vancouver. Originally from Montreal, Claudine now lives and dreams in Vancouver, Canada. Member of the Sculptors' Society of BC, CARFAC, the Eastside Culture Crawl & The Cloud Appreciation Society (UK).
