Description
Angulaire is a striking example of Tapta's architectural approach to sculpture, where geometry, material and surrounding space become inseparable. Tall vertical planes of neoprene are connected through a carefully engineered metal structure, creating a composition that appears both stable and in continuous movement.
As light changes and the viewer moves around the sculpture, its silhouette constantly evolves, revealing new relationships between openness and solidity.
Born Maria Wierusz-Kowalski in Poland in 1926, Tapta settled in Belgium after the Warsaw Uprising of 1944 and trained as a weaver at La Cambre in Brussels, later heading that school's textile department, from 1976 to 1990. Her move from woven textiles to neoprene and metal in the 1980s and 90s remains one of the defining gestures of post-war Belgian sculpture.
