Sculptor Jonty Hurwitz has begun making unique and very
abstract artwork. Most of the art appears to be stretched and elongated shapes,
with an apparent blurring effect (like what might be seen by an object moving
at especially high speeds). Yet most the true sculptures can only be deciphered
using some sort of cylindrical mirror. When the elongated shapes are viewed
through the cylinder, the reflection looks completely normal, revealing more
understandable sculptures, such as a hand or a frog. Hurwitz creates these
pieces using special 3-dimensional software. The creation of the distorted
sculptures from a simplistic, understandable one requires an advanced amount of
both artistic and mathematical skill. However, not all of Hurwitz’s art is so
cylindrical. Some pieces require viewing from certain angles, such as a hanging
clown face that, unless seen from a certain perspective, appears to be broken
into many small chunks. These, and the rest of Hurwitz’s artwork, can be found
on his website: www.jontyhurwitz.com.
