The artwork, entitled “Ala,” created by Lino Tagliapietra in 2009, is an installation piece that belongs to the Kinetic Art movement.
“Ala” is characterized by three sculptural forms that are suspended against a dark background, each seeming to mimic the elegant, sweeping lines of a bird in flight. Each form is distinct in color; one is red, another is yellow, and the third exhibits a complex pattern of multiple shades. The forms are sleek and elongated with smooth, curved lines that create a sense of fluidity and motion, underscoring the work’s affiliation with Kinetic Art, which often emphasizes movement and dynamic composition. The simplicity and precision of the shapes, combined with their vibrant colors, evoke a powerful yet graceful presence, captivating the viewer with their serene yet dynamic rhythm.
