Concrete modular sculptures that create an optical illusion by David Umemoto

A Canadian architect and sculptor, David's artistic approach is highly regulated, codified and rigorous. Each one of his creations seamlessly fits into a conceptual and constructive system that has been thoroughly elaborated. Interestingly, each work of art is decomposed into modular sections that can then be reorganised and reused to create new works.

As explained in his artist statement: "Every module of all the works can be interconnected physically or conceptually. Sometimes the creations take shape by spontaneous generation, and other times by transformational succession. By a series of dissections, transformations, repetitions, aggregations, they give birth to other works. In this organic process, each work although unique finds itself composed in whole or in part by elements of previous or subsequent works. Thus, the use of techniques for creating 'multiples', such as printmaking, casting or moulding, to create unique pieces is essential to his approach."
