Kinetic Ribbon Dancer

by Christian Ovís

Kinetic Ribbon Dancer depicts a slender dancing figure made up of multicoloured ribbons. One arm reaches high upwards, whilst the other curves into a wide loop beside the head. One leg is raised and extends to the right, whilst the other ribbon continues downwards. Yellow, red, blue, green and purple alternate on the narrow strips. The grey background ensures the open posture remains clearly visible.

A compact oval shape with coloured bands defines the head. Ribbons wrap around the chest and waist in overlapping curves. The strips alternate between wide and narrow, depending on their twist. Dark reverse sides create depth amongst the bright colours. At the bottom, a red spiral winds around the long leg-like shape. The openings in the body give the figure an airy appearance and make it easy to follow the movement of the various lines.

This abstract dance wall decoration suits a modern interior with colourful accents. In a living room, study or creative space, the vertical composition can form an elegant focal point. A calm wall provides space for the raised arm and the bent knee. From a distance, the dance pose is recognisable; up close, the small bands of colour, intersections and dark inner areas stand out.
