Gerard Caris Pentagonismus / Pentagonism

Robbert Dijkgraaf

0/5 ( ratings)

“Gerard Caris succeeds in combining his basic visual elements: regular pentagons and pentagonal dodecahedrons into complex structures with apparent ease, but that ease is illusory. Anyone who might attempt to build a mega-structure from such components will soon find out that they cannot be joined smoothly into harmonic patterns - unlike regular hexagons, for example.
the world of forms to which Gerard Caris has been devoted for almost 40 years - first as a conceptual world, speculatively put on paper, later spherically elaborated - possibly proves so 'difficult to grasp' because the combination of pentagonal elements touches on the limitations of our familiar three-dimensional understanding of the world.“
