Jorge Perrugoria – Involuntary geometry
Involuntary Geometry was created as a part of the Fashion Art project by Cuban artist Jorge Perrugoria, and fashion designer Manu Fernandez. In creating the piece, Perrugoria was inspired by Gaudinian geometries attributed to Antoni Gaudi – who seamlessly merged concepts from nature and religion with mathematical elements, such as hyperbolic paraboloids in creating his masterpieces.
“Art is beauty, and beauty is the glitter of truth, without it there is no art. For the knowledge of the truth it is necessary to study things thoroughly. Beauty is life, and life is shown in the human figure by means of movement.”
Antoni Gaudi
Fashion Art was created by Manuel Fernandez, it is a collaboration between visual artists and fashion designers in which their respective languages are combined to create a dress that is an authentic work of art. It is a project that is in constant evolution, where the fusion of Art and Fashion takes place in the eye of the spectator with the artists’ work taking center stage and the dress as the underlying canvas it is displayed on.
