Jo Oda (Tokio / Tokyo, Japonska / Japan), 1964
Odova kontejnerska kompozicija je sestavljena iz škatlastih elementov, ki so s svojo slikovito nedorečenostjo v dejavnem dialogu s togimi kvadri okoliških stanovanjskih blokov.
Dinamično strukturo plastike krepijo brezštevilni detajli, ki navidez naključno, v resnici pa nadvse domišljeno dopolnjujejo serpentinasto vzpenjajočo se skladovnico kubističnih abstraktnih form, le na vrhu razklenjenih v ekspresivno nalomljeno paličasto teksturo, ki se je pred leti, ko je skulptura še stala pred razprto zelenico, vpisovala v modrino neba.
Lokacija: Ravne na Koroškem (stanovanjsko naselje), material: varjeno jeklo in jekleni profili Železarne Ravne.
Oda's modular, container-like composition is assembled from box-like volumes whose pictorial indeterminacy enters into an active spatial dialogue with the rigid geometric blocks of the surrounding residential architecture.
The dynamic structure of this plastic work is enriched by numerous details that appear casual at first glance, yet systematically augment the serpentine ascent of stacked cubist and abstract forms. At the apex, the composition unfolds into an expressively broken lattice of rods that, in years past against open lawns, etched directly into the clear blue sky.
Location: Ravne na Koroškem (residential quarter), material: welded steel plates and structural rods from the Ravne Steelworks.
