Metric Dimanic Sculptural Painting

Metric Dimanic Sculptural Painting is an innovative contemporary art installation that masterfully combines sculptural elements with painting techniques, created by New Zealand-based designer Webber (Ping-Chun) Chen. This sophisticated piece, measuring 800mm x 800mm x 6mm, draws inspiration from the geometric patterns of a chess board and transforms them into a dynamic, three-dimensional composition. The artwork features meticulously arranged spherical crystals gridded onto a white background base, creating an intricate interplay of light and form. Each crystal unit is securely fastened to the pre-drilled white board using a specialized mounting system, ensuring both stability and aesthetic integrity. The installation's name derives from the confluence of three conceptual elements: Metric precision, Diamond-like brilliance, and Dynamic visual effects. When illuminated, the crystal surfaces create a mesmerizing spectacle of refracted light, producing varied patterns and color spectrums that integrate harmoniously with one another. This interactive quality allows viewers to experience different visual effects by adjusting light sources around the piece, making it a versatile addition to luxury interior spaces. The work, which earned recognition with an Iron A' Design Award in the Fine Arts and Art Installation Design category, represents a significant achievement in contemporary sculptural painting, demonstrating innovative approaches to materials, light manipulation, and spatial design. The piece exemplifies the intersection of functional art and interior design, offering a unique solution for elevating architectural spaces through its elegant presence and dynamic light interactions.
