SPINNING DONUT — Kinetic Pop Art Oil Drum Sculpture | HYPNOTIQ

Even the most ordinary objects become extraordinary when they never stop moving.
The Work: Spinning Donut on Oil Drum is a kinetic pop art sculpture that does exactly what it says — a perfect high-gloss donut in permanent, motorized rotation atop a custom oil drum base. Created by HYPNOTIQ in 2022, it transforms two of the most culturally loaded objects in American visual language into a piece of genuine kinetic art. Absurd, precise, and absolutely mesmerizing.
The Experience: You can't look away. Something in the human brain responds to circular motion — it is hypnotic. Guests gather around this piece. Children and billionaires react exactly the same way. That universality is what makes it extraordinary.
Materials and Craft: High-gloss resin donut form, motorized rotation mechanism, custom oil drum base, acrylics, spray paint, epoxy, metal hardware.
Dimensions: approx. 24" H × 14" W × 14" D | approx. 15 lbs | Freestanding kinetic sculpture.
Year: 2022 | Edition: One-of-a-kind original. Studio release by Arian Lori-Amini (HYPNOTIQ). Not available in editions.
Collector Notes: Kinetic sculpture occupies a distinct and highly desirable category in the contemporary market — works that move command attention in ways static objects cannot. This piece has strong institutional appeal alongside residential collector interest.
