Cube I, Cube II, Cube III

In a sort of stackable puzzle of geometric shapes, Arita’s artworks show the gel’s qualities of permeability to light. The Japanese artist translates his geometrical painting – which already carries within the third dimension – into sculpture, interpreting cylinders, cones, cubes, pyramids and other objects, single or multiples, with no intention to symbolize or allude but to simply represent the very shapes.
