A Belgian artist recognized as one of the leading figures in kinetic art, Pol Bury established his artistic identity by developing the concept of “Moving Planes,” which place essential importance on movement. Beginning in 1961, he worked with wood to create basic geometric shapes—such as spheres, cylinders, and cubes—to which he imparted the ability to move. This exploration of movement extends to his 18-karat gold jewelry, which he designs and crafts entirely by hand. True miniature sculptures, these creations rely on the mobility of their components, activated by the body’s natural movements rather than by a motorized mechanism. His work, at the intersection of art, design, and jewelry, reflects an innovative approach to sculpture and continues to influence the perception of movement in contemporary art.
