Wire art, also called wire sculpture is surely an indispensable branch of contemporary art. Popularized by Alexander Calder, employing wires of single strands to produce net like sculptures of things and living beings that are minimalist and abstract, wire art has been produced by artists who sometimes choose to deviate in the mainstream. This type of art form made from wire is KAYA by Racso Jugarap. Inside the creating and modeling of KAYA, Racso capitalized on the endless possibilities that wire art world. KAYA, the industry wall piece wire artwork is 3 dimensional and is also weaved on such basis as philosophy of self. Racso made KAYA to be a portal to somewhere – perhaps to one’s aspirations and dreams. Finally he concludes which everybody is free to interpret the piece, being in keeping with the philosophy of self.

Like a wall sculpture, KAYA embodies a tear shape with an airy loop at the center connected by spider web like weave round the sides, fringing the empty circle at the center. Why is Philippine artist stick out may be the dimensional geometry with the web which is palpable when hung on the wall. KAYA is really a masterpiece in her own right, lovingly conceived by passion for wall installation and wire art.

The thought of KAYA isn’t wholly new – Racso derived it from his Sofia pieces. There’s an overlapping design quality. He explained that Sofia is really a gargantuan wire piece looking like interconnected cocoons. His pieces makes it as far as Los Angeles, California, Ny, Paris, France and Milan, Italy, being testimony for the covetous value and artistry sense.
Racso is happy that KAYA is up to be featured at All4Home event in Brussels, Belgium and in Maison et Objet Paris for public viewing. When asked why is his wire pieces unique in the other wire sculptures, he explained, “I guess since i never do every bit perfectly. My motto has always been, loving the good thing about imperfections which made the piece more interesting. I believe each Racso J pieces have their own signature or thumbprint. An account to inform. ”In an encapsulation, KAYA personifies the infinite variations possible in the arena of wire art and interior design and he is happy that his work gets due recognition and appreciation.
