"CARDival #2" is an evocative art piece crafted from once discarded playing cards, transformed into a mesmerizing and dynamic creation. The primary material, playing cards, evokes a sense of nostalgia, reminiscent of childhood memories spent at carnivals, with their bright primary colors mirroring the lively atmosphere of those cherished times.
This artwork, created on a canvas, features a tidal wave-like structure lined with a unique mesh, plastic material that gives the piece an undulating, fluid appearance. The intricate arrangement of the cards, finely cut and meticulously positioned, creates a sensation of spinning and twisting, adding depth and movement to the composition. All elements are extremely sculptural and 3D, making the piece stand out with its tangible, dynamic form.
One of the most captivating aspects of "CARDival #2" is its versatility. The piece can be flipped and hung from either side, allowing the viewer to choose their preferred perspective. This lack of a definitive orientation adds an interactive element to the artwork, encouraging personal interpretation and engagement.
This piece represents a larger, more ambitious evolution of a previous work also constructed from playing cards. Its grander scale and more intricate design showcase the artist's continued exploration and mastery of this unconventional medium, inviting viewers to dive into a wave of vibrant memories and artistic innovation.
