Vera Galis Objects

Vera Galis (Delft 1959) creates her metal constructions with mathematical precision and dedication. She makes both small statues and large commissioned object. Yet whatever the dimensions, each work of art is constructed entirely by Vera Galis herself.

Vera Galis makes use of metal wire, metal sheets or combinations of the two. The metal that she uses are stainless steel, alpaca, brass, copper and gold. In spite of the hardness of these materials, her constructions are light and spacious, sometimes even suggesting to float in the air. The use of hinged elements adds to the impression of lightness. She creates a transparant, ethereal world wich not only transmits light, but also reflects it. The ever changing interplay of lines and colours is particularly striking when you walk around the objects. As she plays with space, it is no accident that her constructions bear an architectural halmark. Placed in or near a building a facinating interplay emerges between architecture and art object.
