Bubblelloon
@ The Columns Gallery 2021
Bubblelloon, is an ideal state of imaginative perfection, to reflect the sculptor’s mischievous desire in proposing an unprecedented sense of a beautiful ‘formless’ form. It was one of the key sculpture element under the umbrella of A Beauty Centre Project 2016.
“It is obvious that Yeo's earlier declaration to work with only the formless elemental forces of nature is thwarted by the continuing desire to create the human form: the sculptor succumbs, and we are witness to a collision of forces and forms, e.g., the molecular structure of vaporous water crashing and condensing into a semblance of human female form – water vapour held together and incorporated as somehow female, just as clouds sensuously sculpt our imaginations. What influences the shape of the experience of A Beauty Centre seems to be these repeated collisions of the sculptor's twin obsessions: the beauty of the natural phenomenon of water as formless force and the culturally-shaped human form, where both forces and forms are invoked, yoked, and incarnated as art. And while art may be a quest for beauty and what beauty can be, the artist is aware that the beautiful in Nature just is.”
