The artwork, “Untitled,” crafted by Jorge Pardo in 2013, is aligned with the Post-Minimalism movement and falls under the genre of design. The piece exemplifies the artist’s innovative approach through its fusion of traditional craftsmanship and modern artistic sensibilities.
The artwork features a dynamic assembly of three pendant lights, each adorned with intricately patterned shades that cast intricate and elaborate shadows on the surrounding environment. The shades have an organic, almost coral-like structure, with an array of colorful, elongated elements resembling strands or tendrils extending downward. The interplay of light and shadow is central to the composition, creating a luminous and immersive experience. Pardo’s choice of materials and the meticulous design work together harmoniously, reflecting the Post-Minimalism emphasis on pushing boundaries and exploring the aesthetic potential of everyday objects.
