LAS VEGAS (July 11, 2016) – Continuing its celebration of local artists, Delano Las Vegas debuts “SpaceTime Kinetics,” a new exhibit of freestanding artworks by Las Vegas-based Cristian Aluas.
“SpaceTime Kinetics” is a concept-driven art series featuring six pieces inspired by the relationships people create with each other and the energy each person shares with the universe. Aluas uses this motivation to design sophisticated, thought-provoking three-dimensional works of art.
The creative process begins during the design phase with careful consideration of each piece, followed by the assembly of locally sourced carbon steel and materials from Nevada’s natural surroundings. Each piece is completed with a pateen finish for a refined and glossy look.
“We are excited to showcase this elegant yet impressive installation by a talented Las Vegas-based artist,” said Matthew Chilton, general manager of Delano Las Vegas. “Art and culture are important aspects of the Delano experience and we enjoy sharing our energetic ambiance and style with guests from around the world.”
With more than 25 years of experience in fine art, Aluas enjoys creating various art concepts including large-scale murals, paintings and installations. He is currently an art instructor at Bet Yossef Community Center in Las Vegas and holds degrees in Creative Writing and Studio Art from Concordia University in Montreal, Canada.
Located in Delano’s lobby, “SpaceTime Kinetics” is on view now through September 30. For additional information on Delano Las Vegas, please visit the Delano digital newsroom or follow Delano Las Vegas on Facebook and Twitter.
