Patrick Heide Contemporary Art

Recognized as a pioneer in the development and application of kinetic and luminescent technology within the arts, internationally renowned visual artist Peter Sedgley has produced a vast and diverse body of work over the last four decades, through which, he has continually explored the optical properties of colour, light and motion.

The magic of movement surprises the viewer. It brings about a selective anticipation of the phenomena witnessed by him, soliciting as well the intelligence of his awareness.

The work of Sam Buxton is dominated by his innovative use of advanced materials and technologies and his work has continually managed to blur the lines between art and industrial production. Ongoing investigations engaging industrial technologies in the production of artworks and the delicate relationship between the body and its environment have produced a distinctive body of work.

Stemming from an early fascination with illusion and movement, Tom Wilkinson’s kinetic sculptures draw inspiration from astronomy and metaphysics. His work reflects the constant motions, cyclical patterns and kinetic energies that are universally present in our surroundings and the patterns made. Wilkinson also investigates the ambiguous nature of matter; the glass in Light Wave appears to be molten, inviting us to reflect on the paradoxical nature of glass as an amorphous solid.

Cruz-D is a pioneer in colour and perception, his work presents geometric abstracted forms using a moire effect with a strong emphasis on colour to create a visual experience. He relies on the movement of the viewer rather than the movement of the art work itself. As the viewer changes position, the image of the work changes; he refers to this changing effect as 'vibrations.' The individual images presented were considered events. These were terms used by the Fluxus group, who were also internationally based, and working around the same time, the late fifties and early sixties.

My robots are low tech.....built from bits and pieces found in scrapyards etc. The motors in them are mainly windscreen-wiper motors..or electric car window motors. I am more interested in getting something moving in a way that gives it character...and a bit of soul...
