Metal sculpture. Hand-signed in pencil at the bottom and numbered. Levitation 2 by Rafael Barrios is a 2019 painted metal sculpture that exemplifies the Venezuelan artist’s exploration of perception, balance, and geometric illusion. Composed of four sharply angled magenta forms that appear to hover in space, the sculpture creates a compelling visual tension between stability and movement. Although firmly anchored to a square base, the precisely engineered elements seem to defy gravity, inviting viewers to question their sense of depth and equilibrium. Barrios is internationally recognized for transforming simple geometric volumes into dynamic optical experiences, drawing on the traditions of Kinetic and Constructivist art. Issued in an edition of 20, Levitation 2 demonstrates the artist’s mastery of form, color, and spatial interaction.

What is New Generation Sculpture?
New Generation Sculpture was a movement started in the 1960s by a group of British artists. They experimented with unconventional forms, materials, and colors, creating sculptures that did not rely on traditional bases. Their work often featured plastic sheeting, fiberglass, and other industrial materials, which were fastened together and brightly painted.
