Eurus, 1990

This sculpture by John Raimondi titled Eurus is named after the Greek god of the east winds. With its sensuous and feminine curves, the wind is evoked through the negative spaces that are created by the bronze, ribbon-like lines. Within the positive spaces, one can find embryotic and musical symbology depicting a theme of endless creation cycles. The sculpture at its upper vertical edges breaks off into continuously formless crescendos echoing sentiments of eternal movement beyond its corporeal form. The power of the winds and music is never-ending, even beyond the form we can see and touch. Eurus was thought to bring warmth and rain and was the progeny of Eos, the goddess of dawn, and Astraeus, the god of dusk.
