“Construction on a Line” is an installation artwork created by Naum Gabo in 1937, classified under the Kinetic Art movement. This piece exemplifies Gabo’s exploration of movement and form within static structures, integrating intricate lines and transparent materials to create a perception of motion.
The artwork features a meticulously crafted transparent panel, presenting a collection of intersecting lines that appear to float within the medium. This visual complexity is achieved through the use of fine, thoughtfully placed wires or threads that stretch and curve across the surface. The interplay of these elements suggests a dynamic interaction, echoing the principles of Kinetic Art. The transparent nature of the material enhances the illusion of suspended motion, contributing to the overall ethereal and futuristic quality of the piece.
