Las esculturas "Sonambient" de Harry Bertoia son una fascinante mezcla de arte, sonido y ciencia, y esta pieza de 36 púas es un ejemplo por excelencia de su genio innovador. Meticulosamente elaborada con 36 varillas alineadas en una precisa configuración de seis por seis sobre una base cuadrada, esta obra de 77 pulgadas de altura encarna la armoniosa intersección de la belleza visual y la maravilla auditiva.





Fabricadas en cobre berilio, un material preferido por Bertoia por sus propiedades acústicas superiores y su atractivo estético, las varillas han desarrollado con el tiempo una rica pátina similar a la del nogal. Esta pátina aumenta el atractivo visual de la escultura, realzando su valor histórico y artístico, y refleja un proceso de envejecimiento natural que el propio artista, naturalista, habría admirado. Cuando se activan mediante el tacto o el movimiento del aire, las varillas producen una nota perceptible y fija acompañada de una gama de tonos etéreos, transformando la escultura de un objeto estático en una experiencia dinámica y multisensorial. El largo y oscilante movimiento de las altas varillas, que recuerda las ondulantes hierbas del desierto que inspiraron inicialmente al artista, añade una cautivadora dimensión visual. Los remates en forma de espadaña evocan aún más las formas naturales, subrayando la inspiración de Bertoia derivada del mundo natural.





La escultura "Sonambient" de 36 púas de Bertoia es más que una obra maestra visual; explora profundamente el sonido, el material y la interacción participativa. Ejemplifica la creencia de Bertoia en el arte como experiencia inmersiva y evolutiva, en la que cada encuentro ofrece descubrimientos y sensaciones. Con esta obra, Bertoia ha creado una pieza atemporal que sigue cautivando e inspirando, poniendo de relieve el poder perdurable de su visión artística y su profunda conexión con las cualidades espirituales de la naturaleza.
