Constantin Brâncuși, a pioneering sculptor of the 20th century, is known for his radical rethinking of form and meaning in sculpture.
In Sculpting Contradictions, Brâncuși explores the paradoxes within his own artistic approach: the tension between abstraction and representation, simplicity and depth, the material and the spiritual.
His sculptures, such as Bird in Space and The Kiss, challenge traditional notions of what sculpture can be, distilling complex ideas into minimal forms. For Brâncuși, simplicity was not about reduction, but about revealing the essence of the subject. His work invites viewers to engage with these contradictions, asking them to reconsider how art can communicate not just the physical world, but also the deeper, intangible forces of life and nature.

Through his embrace of contradictions, Brâncuși doesn’t just break from tradition—he redefines it. His sculptures become a meditation on the relationship between form and meaning, the physical and the metaphysical, the individual and the universal.
The exhibition space is an intricate maze of interconnected brass tubes, forming a striking, grid-like structure that flows seamlessly throughout the room. The gleaming metal creates a sense of both industrial elegance and artistic complexity. Dividing the space into intimate areas, soft white linen curtains gently drape between the brass framework, adding a touch of softness and contrast. Each section invites visitors to explore the interplay of light, material, and form, while offering a sense of both openness and privacy.
The combination of the bold metallic grid and delicate fabric transforms the space into a dynamic, immersive experience.
The entire composition is easily dismountable and, due to its flexibility and light weight, can be effortlessly relocated to another exhibition space. This ensures that no material is wasted and the exposition can travel around the world so that a lot of people can be inspired by Brâncusi’s work.
