Cymatic Sculptures of Lachlan Turzcan

Driven by the desire to uncover beauty within chaos, Lachlan Turzcan embarks on an extraordinary journey of artistic expression. Holding its ropes just tight enough to co-create with it rather than battle against it. Using sound, light and water as canvas Turzcan unveils hypnotic explorations of visual and sonic dimensions in a complexly simple way. Drawing inspiration from the resonant interactions of nature he tells stories of unconventional dimensions.

Do you ever get that feeling of familiarity while staring into the consuming dance of fire? That warm feeling of comfort resonating from the most volatile form of matter. In a similar way we shift our focus to water—the counter part, the yin in fire’s yang. Lachlan Turzcan plays with the shapes of water to reveal sculptural forms of pulsating, undulate rhythmic imagery. His work is a hypnotic reminder that beneath every surface lies a chaotic system waiting to be understood. Playing around shapes of water to reveal sculptural forms of pulsating undulate rhythmic imagery. 

In this unorthodox medium of expression, Turzcan yields his distinct visual manifestations in a systematically curated way. Searching for forms within the ambiguous dance of frequencies, he finds beauty in patterns between 20 and 60 Hz—frequencies that are, to the untrained eye, invisible. By lowering and raising them, he contrasts expansive, wide wave patterns with tighter, intricate networks of wavelets. It’s like watching nature write a secret language, one only he can decode. Turzcan’s work distills the chaos of water into something tangible, even ethereal. He lets the waves speak, creating art that feels at once ancient and futuristic, bridging two worlds through the most basic yet profound element. 

Technicality is not an afterthought for Turzcan’s work, it lies in the very core of it.In a contemporary interpretation of Shibumi, Turczan’s thematic approaches take shape, illustrating the balance between complexity and simplicity. Damn right, our agenda is once again influenced by the breezes from Japan. Shibumi in its core is an aesthetic concept that embraces simplicity, understated elegance, and a profound sense of grace. So the relation should be clear by now. It is an endless juggle of complexity and simplicity, where effort and experience bring a work to an effortless and refined state.

In this digital age, Turczan’s art embraces technology as a vital component of its beauty. The integration of digital media allows for a unique representation of his work, enhancing the fluidity and vibrancy of each piece. His Instagram feed serves as a canvas of its own, where color dances with his medium in an ethereal display. Through his lens, the transient nature of water becomes an immersive experience, where viewers can delve into the delicate textures and rich hues that bring his artistic vision to life.It’s a moment where the digital realm seamlessly transforms into artistic expression. In the interplay of light and water, he captures not just images, but the very essence of movement and emotion, inviting us to explore the beauty hidden within the chaos.
