Simon:
“In “Moongate “ I invite viewers to transcend the confines of the familiar and embark on a journey of exploration and introspection. This sculpture embodies the juxtaposition of shapes- a square overtaken by a commanding circle, reminiscent of the enigmatic allure of the moon. As observers approach, they are encouraged to delve deeper, to peer beyond the surface and embrace the mysteries that lie within. “Moongate “ serves as a symbol of transition and transformation, urging us to transcend the ordinary and embrace the infinite possibilities that await when we dare to look further. Through this work, I aim to envoke a sense of wonder and curiosity inviting viewers to contemplate the beauty and complexity of the universe that surrounds us.”
Kildare based artist Simon Hayes works primarily in steel. Pushing the limits of what he can do with steel in a Man vs. Steel relationship which serves him to push forward. Flexing that tenuous relationship is where the soul and drama come through in the work.
But there is always more. The visual language begins with a thoughtful inspiration he then questions, advances to sketching the form, and then letting it flow and incubate for however long it needs until the steel and artist work it out in the studio.
Scale, tools, flow and form drive him to the conclusions you see in the private and public installations you see today.
