ART + REALITY ARE ONE

​

"As you stand and stare, fixing your hair, posing for a photo- 

You unwittingly become part of this work. 

Lying dormant waiting for you to fall into its gaze, 

the mirror, captures the environment 

and translates it into art itself. 

As you see your reflection

 within the geometric Polyhedron, 

your role as a spectator changes into the subject, 

relating your own human scale 

to the solid shapes formed in the projected space."

​

​

Light defines how we perceive ourselves and objects in space.

Geometry and spatial relationships are a part of our built environment and daily life.

​

I consider my works constructions that parallel the physics of light and chroma through geometric form 

responding the tensions of our own movement through space.

​

Influenced by the built environment, futurist & expressionist dynamics,  as well as the sleek lines of modernist design,

I investigate purist forms, hue and value,  creating immersive environments.

 POLYHEDRON transforms the Prism series of paintings to open and playful mazes, for immersive visual experience

embedding human scale and all perceptive senses.

 Polyhedron : Art + Reality Are One

Solo Exhibition 2016

​

Seda Saar’s investigation into the nature of perception is distilled by the artist’s subject of spatial environment as a phenomena of real and imagined forms. 

Saar materializes this as dialog between an object and its representation using mirrored and transparent surfaces that bring attention to both its physicality and multiplying forms created by its reflection.  She gives the viewer a central role as their images are reflected back in each piece, implicated within a framework of society, architecture, nature and technology.

Saar’s work belongs to the lineage of Southern California’s Light and Space Movement that began in the 1960’s and rode a wave of interest in the perceptual and phenomenological effects of color and material.
