Open doors to experience!
The Rose Walk by Pablo Bronstein
In this artwork, Pablo Bronstein wanted to turn outdoor space into something that feels like an indoor.
This sculpture is composed of ten-metres high pavilions, one Gotic and the other one Chinoiserie style, (Chinoiserie is a decorative style in Western art, furniture, and architecture, especially in the 18th century, characterized by the use of Chinese motifs and techniques), and these two pavilions are connected by a twenty-five metres long rose garden.
These imposing and elaborate follies simultaneously act as an entrance to, and ornament framing of, the narrow promenade(front).
I like this sculpture for its choreographic effect, the use of white as a colour makes the sculpture appear simple even if it has a busy design. I felt calm inside at the pavilions, these open doors made me feel welcomed and I wanted to spend more time looking at the sculpture. I am curious to see Bronstein's drawings(his sketchbook), I would like to know which approach he used and what was his process to get to the final piece.
