The Kinetic Collection of Olivia Cogneta records poetry of movement

Recording a request in a quiet facility is not an easy feat, but in her latest Kinetic collection, Olivia Cognet succeeds to do just that. Through bold shapes and rhythmic repetition, its sculptural ceramics evokes a feeling of constant movement. Each piece impulses with graphic energy, light and shadow, as if caught in the middle gesture. Inspired by the visual language of kinetic art, the collection convert static surfaces into dynamic compositions that change each view.

Raised in beautifully on the azure coast and dressed in Villa Aronde, the cognette is drawn from the rich heritage of Masters Vallauris: Picasso, Caron and others who blurred the line between the line art and functional shape. For the kinetic collection, it spreads to be related to visual poetry Aleksandar Calder, Jesus Rafael Soto, Victor Vasareli, and Carlos Cruz-Diez. Their research of movement, rhythms and optical illusions of echoes through the job of the cognette, where the shape becomes a motion medium, and the shadow extends sculpture outside its own edges.

Every work starts on paper, with the bonnet sketches its ideas in two dimensions before shaping them manually. It works primarily in the stone ground floor using three natural tones of clay, accepting the contrast between minimalist, geometric lines and more natural, organic term.

The collection turns a small range of buildings – vases, wall sconce, chandelier – each is infused with the same sense of visual rhythm. In pendant lightly, layers ceramically form like totem soft geometry, perforated by light spilled in gently. Sconce and Your Echo This layered language, creating silhouettes that feel at the same time architectural and organic language. In each piece shape becomes a movement medium, and the shadow expands the sculpture outside its edges.

The operation of the coins in the kinetic collection is a reminder that the movement does not always require movement. Sometimes it is a subtle interplay of shapes and shadows that can bring an object for life.
