‘Star Clock at Night II’ by is a part of Buckminster Fuller series which Sinta Tantra abstractly resembles the mechanics of the clock while also visualizing the constellation placement of the starts. Both the clock and the cosmos symbolically and literally create meaning to every living things.
Star Clock at Night II series is part of Sinta Tantra’s paintings inspired by Buckminster Fuller’s
utopian instructive diagrams. The lines in this artwork and planes of colours contains immense
potential and possibilities of interpretations, rhythms, and movements. Always the one that
bridges visual art and music, this time around, Sinta Tantra pulls the connection even further by
incorporating music and sense of modernist composition in her tempera painting.
