A Symphony of Spheres by Brendon Edwards at the Art@Africa Sculpture Garden opened on a high note (pun intended) to reflect the work being a visual representation of Beethoven’s 5th symphony, as Dirk Durnez explains in this Sanlam Arts Round Up.
Dirk tells us about the occasion and actually being able to engage with the scale of the work in this very special setting. He alludes to Brendon Edwards background in the Philosophy of Aesthetics and Logic before becoming an artist. Edwards has labelled his genre Muse-spheric as adding emphasis to the inter-connectiveness of art and music.
Fine Music Radio’s Rodney Trudgeon stated “Beethoven’s 5th is like Michelangelo’s David, a monument to art and humanity”, however, like all great works, popularity and intemperance cause the impact of these great works to become “dangerously blunted”. South African artist Brendon Edwards believes that these greats must be visualised and reinterpreted in newly creative ways to recapture their stupendousness.
