Story / Additional Info“More beautifully in a sense, the clear acrylic figures emerge and disappear, literally creating a spiritual relationship between light and form, and a sense of mystery around being and non-being.” - Frederick HartHart’s work represents a bridge between the ancient and the new, his cultivation of his passion for the classical art of stone sculpture into the innovative mastery of a new material. His Illuminata series is fitting both for its reference to light and the spiritual, embodying Hart’s desire to “delve into the nature of being and non-being.” The first of the series captures the dainty bust of a woman with slender neck and floating hair inside a jagged and crystalline form, as if a beautiful water nymph is gazing out from a crisp, clear rippling pond.The second of the series duplicates the scene of two girls on the verge of womanhood, the one sister gently touching the other’s arm as they both gaze in the direction of two identical figures of themselves. The seen and unseen collide in this light-refracting piece as the girls seem to look upon their dream selves, future selves, or even younger selves. From different angles, the pair can appear singular, double, or in multiple as each new perspective reveals a new emotion. Illuminata III features a couple in a romantic embrace.
