K4427
Bryan Wynter (1915-1975) began making kinetic works in 1960. Heat from a lightbulb moves a mobile suspended in front of a concave mirror and, as the mobile turns, the reflections appear to swim out of the box and towards the viewer producing hypnotic, ever changing images. Wynter called these kinetic works Images Moving Out Onto Space, abbreviated to IMOOS. They were a natural progression from his oil paintings which were abstracts creating the sensation of depth on a flat surface.
