LOTUS revealed
Lotus in Motion brings focus to water, the beauty of clean water and its importance as part of the natural world. With lightweight paintings that float atop translucent water, the artist has created an artwork in response to nature, in cooperation with nature's beauty.
As water holds the work, Lotus reflects nature's shapes, forms and colors. Wing and leaf, feather and petal, all coalesce in Halloran's vibrant palette.
"A really unique and unforgettable dialogue between man and nature, technology and emotion." - Giorgetto Giugiaro, founder & chairman, Italdesign referring to the artist's monumental installation at the 2006 Olympic Winter Games (www.gordonhalloran.com)
