DION HORSTMANS
Dion Horstmans participated in both the Vivid Festival 2012, an annual festival of light, music and ideas, and SxS, Bondi’s International Sculpture Exhibition. Horstmans has been included in a group show curated by Leo Tano at the Casula Power House and has been invited to participate in Sculpture by the Sea in Cottesloe 2013 and also in Aarhus, Denmark 2013.
Informed by the stylistic principles of geometric abstraction and finished in bright DAY GLO colour, Dion Horstmans’ wall sculptures irreverently gesture toward the lure and appeal of speed. As lines leave the safety of the wall plane, traversing out into the room, an awareness of a more complex spatial domain is articulated. The play of shadows created calls into existence a potential inverse zone, beyond the wall, that is now opened out and activated. Having previously drawn inspiration for works from such diverse elements as Klein’s mathematical KK Theory and the styling evolution of 1950s American cars, Horstmans’ sculptures leap out into space with a drive toward flight or free-fall.
