Iron, polyurethane, cellophane, aluminium (green). Polistes (1990) by Panamarenko is a compact sculptural object made from iron, polyurethane, cellophane, and aluminum, measuring 13 x 50.3 x 26 cm. This green, streamlined form resembles a futuristic, miniature concept vehicle with aerodynamic curves and minimalist detailing. The name “Polistes,” referring to a genus of wasps, suggests associations with flight, agility, and bio-engineering. The work reflects Panamarenko’s ongoing fascination with the intersection of technology and nature, imagination and engineering. With its organic yet mechanical aesthetic, this piece blurs the boundary between model and machine, aligning with the artist’s broader vision of speculative invention and movement.

What is Found Object?
A found object is a term used to describe a man-made or natural object, or a fragment of one, that an artist discovers or purchases and keeps for inspiration or as a work of art. The artist may also modify the object or incorporate it into a collage or assemblage, transforming it into a new piece of art.
