Yellow

Konstantin Dimopoulos

NEW ZEALAND

Yellow, is a 6.2-metre carbon fibre kinetic sculpture that sways as the wind breathes it to life. Numerous vertical yellow rods reach upward and multiply back in an intense colour field haze of yellow. These straight arms are choreographed by the wind into slowly semaphoring forms which chatter like reeds in the breeze and give voice to the landscape.

Konstantin Dimopoulos created Yellow especially for Wildbrumby and chose gradations of yellow to echo the blond grasses of the Snowy Mountains and the striking golden plumes of the poplars throughout the region in autumn. When still, the rectangular shape of the sculpture and its repeating cylindrical forms reflect the crisp lines of the buildings on the property and the undulating pattern of the corrugated iron roofs.

Yellow celebrates the unpredictable and rhythmic movements of nature and mimics the waving motion of the wind in the trees nearby. His large works speak to the landscape around them and invite us to see it anew.
