The brilliance of Savvas

Nick Savvas, (Born in 1964, Sydney, Australia and currently lives in London) created this 2005 installation with materials such as polystyrene, nylon wire, paint, and electric fans.

Savvas calls this piece Atomic: Full of love, Full of wonder.











What is it about this piece that makes me feel so damn alive? I'm not sure how this piece appears up close, but viewing the colors, the multitude of balls, and the space between, makes me want to walk through it as if it were rain. To twirl around and feel myself immersed in all of it.

I'm curious as to what the artist thought of or was inspired by when he thought up this one. Seemingly so simple yet so complex. Good job Savvas.
