This kinetic sculpture is inspired by the work of Alexander Calder, the American sculptor who is best known for his innovative mobiles.
Umbra & Lux was recently born in Vancouver, British Columbia, at the iconic 1000 Parker Street Studios and has since moved to the nearby Mergatroid Building. Two passionate minds with a strong love for art, design, and the environment joined their respective strengths to create unique illuminated sculptures. A shared aesthetic vision brought them to leverage sophisticated materials to build featherweight and environmentally friendly mobile light art pieces that seem to float on air. Umbra & Lux believe that being surrounded by beauty is vital to our well being and that nature’s spectacle is an ideal source of artistic inspiration. They aim to create beautiful objects that respect our planet by using upcycled materials and the latest low energy LED technologies, thus hoping that generations to come can continue to admire nature’s beauty.
