Slow Motion (Turtle), Dorit Levinstein

"Slow Motion (Turtle)" by Dorit Levinstein, from her "Animals" collection, is an original hand-painted aluminum sculpture that captures the serene and enduring nature of a turtle. In this work, Levinstein utilizes her characteristic style of vibrant colors and dynamic forms to convey the turtle's steady and deliberate movements, emblematic of the phrase "slow motion." The use of aluminum as a medium allows for a modern and sleek interpretation, while the hand painting adds depth, texture, and a touch of whimsy, highlighting the turtle's distinctive shell and calm demeanor. This sculpture is not just a representation of an animal; it's an artistic exploration of the concept of time and pace, reflecting the turtle's symbolic association with longevity, stability, and the wisdom of moving through life at one's own pace. "Slow Motion (Turtle)" showcases Levinstein's talent for transforming wildlife subjects into engaging and thought-provoking works of art.
