In Moment Series III
Being in the moment can be described as a mental state achieved by focusing one’s awareness on the present moment, which has the ability to bring the human mind to a state of complete and utter tranquillity. Internationally renowned sculptor Anton Smit explores this concept of living in the moment with “In Moment III”, which is available in either a GRP or a bronze sculpture.
Being able to sculpt a state of being in such a powerful manner requires a deep connection of the artist with the message. “In moment III” shows the dexterity and sensitivity with which Smit sculpts; he portrays a female figure focused on meditation. As the viewer, we are invited to engage with the concept of a present moment and are ourselves lost in a moment.
Anton often connects his work to poetry;
“ A line between empowered
and defeat,
of real honesty,
and if you want,
silence
A moment of free-fall
and endless ending ours,
there to be chosen”
