Artist: Hilal Nadi Hibri Background Information: |
Artist Statement: Hilal Hibri’s art is elegance crystallized. He is driven by a cosmic itch to distill the underlying vitality of nature into tangible objects that are uniquely beautiful. Seduced by the unpredictable journey of creation, he does not attempt to “conquer” his medium. Instead, his sculpting unfolds itself to him through a spontaneous process that could be called “Zen sculpting.” Hilal follows streams of energy, gleaned from the nature of his sculpting material, to their logical end points, creating curves and sinews. Using innovative sculpting techniques and “found tools” he has evolved the famously tedious processes of glass casting to become more immediate and direct. His pioneering style infuses classic sculpture with the efficiencies and capabilities of digital art. Hilal’s pieces provide a momentary meditation as the eye passes over bubbles and colors frozen in time. Through this, he freezes grace. He makes the moment ornate. |
