Sublime Moments
31 May – 20 July 2012
Alon Segev Gallery is pleased to present the first solo exhibition by Eyal Gever, 'Sublime Moments'.
"I create sculptures based on computational sublime moments. These are moments that fill a person with amazement, awe, terror, astonishment and silence.
They are also moments of pure beauty.
To see something we normally cannot see. To examine states where rest and motion exist together. To explore the boundaries of time.
I am influenced by the destructive impact within our environment. Uncontrollable power, unpredictability and cataclysmic extremes are the sources for my work. They inspire, fascinate and remind me of the constant fragility and beauty of human-life. Beauty can come from the strangest of places, in the most horrific events. My art addresses these notions of destruction and beauty, the collisions of opposites, fear and attraction, seduction and betrayal, from the most tender brutalities to the most devastating sensitivities. I oscillate between these opposites."

Gever's sculptures are created from software he has developed. Using his own proprietary 3D physical simulation technologies, he has developed computational models for physical simulation, computer animation, and geometric modeling. Combining applied mathematics, computer science, and engineering, his work captures and freezes catastrophic situations as cathartic experiences.Gever's ongoing body of works examines the relationship between the simulated events that he creates and their physical manifestation. These sublime moments are born out of simulations and translated as art.
The body of work exists in three states: 3D simulations, sculptural moments fabricated by 3D prints and digital prints.
