“Started in ’99, this is my life work. I individually cut single sheets of paper by free-hand and stack them together. The work consists of positive or negative shapes. I am trying to embody relationships among humans, time and nature.” — Noriko Ambe

Rosaline de Thelen’s Homos Luminosos


Spanish artist Rosaline de Thelen borrows and bends fiber optic technologies to create her haunting Homos Luminosos: floating human forms made of shimmering light. Currently on display at the Kinetica Art Fair in London*, de Thelen’s various fiber optic creations have been capturing audiences for some time, but to imbue the medium with human characteristics certainly introduces a special, even poetic element to her artworks. Homos Luminosos are at once sculptural and ephemeral, their physicality resolving and vanishing as visitors move about the space. It comes as no surprise then that reactions to de Thelen’s work range from childlike fear to spiritual reverence (indeed, one exhibition in 2011 had her work installed in a church). De Thelen is able to contemplate the mysteries of light and illusion while also satisfying our taste for technology. 

See more work by de Thelen at her website here, and check out more work by Kinetica artists here.

John Mayock’s sculptures have always been rooted in his interest in music and language and especially in the influence of landscape on the Irish language and on traditional Irish music. Much of his work up to the late 90s attempts to interpret these influences in physical space with an emphasis on rhythm, the cyclical repetition of forms and the generation of meaning through abstraction. From a formal point of view the work has also been influenced by an interest in the human figure and in the complexities of our interaction with the physical world. As a traditional sculptor he has worked predominantly in natural materials, wood and stone in particular. This decision wasbased on a number of factors his interest in the skills and techniques associated with these materials, an interest in the role of physical work in the creative process and pursuit of a rural rather than an urban idiom.
