Ac­claimed T&T artist Guy Beck­les de­buts his ki­net­ic art at Raw Space 2031 Adam Clay­ton Pow­ell Jr Boule­vard (be­tween 121 & 120 Streets), Harlem, USA this week.

Beck­les pre­mieres his New York City ex­hi­bi­tion on Mon­day as part of HAWT 2013. His works of mo­bil­i­ty and ki­net­ic forms have been fea­tured at Trinidad's Na­tion­al Mu­se­um and Art Gallery, as well as at show­ings in Lon­don, Boston, and Toron­to, Cana­da.

An artist of many dis­ci­plines, the works fea­tured in this ex­hib­it are all dy­nam­ic, mov­ing, beau­ti­ful and en­thralling. Each blends Beck­les' unique abil­i­ty to com­bine en­gi­neer­ing and aes­thet­ics which he calls "Guy­net­ics." With a body of work con­struct­ed over his 34 years amass­ing over 50 pieces, 11 of spe­cial mer­it were se­lect­ed for this pre­miere show.

Beck­les' works are play­ful, whim­si­cal, in­spi­ra­tional and re­flect an in­trin­sic link with the con­tin­u­ous mo­tion of life. The in­ten­si­ty and philo­soph­i­cal im­pact of all the pieces are found in lay­ers just wait­ing to be ex­am­ined and dis­cov­ered.

The en­gag­ing qual­i­ty of pieces make them ide­al­ly suit­ed for places where peo­ple con­gre­gate or wait. The works are in­ter­ac­tive in that each be­gins its mo­tions when the view­er ap­proach­es or is close. The works de­serve view­ings in spaces that can take full ad­van­tage of their worth.

With the sup­port of dis­cern­ing eyes and sup­port­ers, the fu­ture of Beck­les' work is sure to be ap­pre­ci­at­ed and en­joyed in mu­se­ums and pub­lic are­nas of great mer­it in months and years to come.

Known as the Caribbean's fore­most ki­net­ic artist, both Harlem and New York City wel­come Beck­les and look with great an­tic­i­pa­tion to oth­er op­por­tu­ni­ties of col­lab­o­ra­tion.

The Beck­les ex­hi­bi­tion clos­es on No­vem­ber 14.
