Sea Urchin

Lluís Carulla Ruíz is inspired by sea creatures and plants. He uses a technique developed with two-dimensional metal pieces, assembled in layers, which rotate around the same central axis, thanks to a precise system of bearings that is activated manually. The weight and inertia of the pieces generate a movement that lasts for 10 minutes, each with a bearing system attached to the different layers. His pieces are aesthetic, both when active and static.

Sea Urchin is available in two different versions : blue, grey and red.

The movements of Carulla's sculptures create visual sensations that affect the perception and senses. The oscillations slow down as the speed of the pieces decreases, and that is when a dance of superimposed forms and changes of direction begins, hypnotising spectators and drawing them into the organic movement produced by the sea currents. As they slow down, magic happens... As if we can subtly see how time stops with exquisite elegance.

Lluís Carulla Ruiz

Lluís Carulla Ruiz’s artwork takes it place alongside the great contributions to the specific art and its ground zero. We see a renewal of a neo-avant-garde style, which is distinct from the expressions exaggerations and the deconstructive drift. It is based in history and beautifully revisits the experiments and sensitivity of and impure, artistic research.
