On the relevance of the idyllic, page 71
Oliver Zybok
The timeliness of the idyllic
In his installation 'BSE-Hof' (2001), the sculptor Eckehard Lowisch deals with the consequences of the western affluent society ... By taking on the alleged childlike happiness from the idealized view of an adult and using wooden figures from a toy farm as a model, Lowisch addresses them the stereotype that life… was pleasant and pleasurable only in carefree childhood ... There are the classic variants: father, mother, child, a tree and animals, all "cloned" several times. The designation of this arrangement as a 'BSE farm' is to be understood as the consequence of real states, as opposed to the idyllic view of life in the countryside, which exists only as a construct in the supposedly "untouched" variant.

« My motivation is the creation of sculptures that connect the principles of order and chaos. »
Eckehard Lowisch is a prizewinning German artist whose works are held in national public collections. Lowisch's sculptures seek to counteract traditional ideas and physical properties. To do so, the artist combines natural and industrial themes to achieve a balance between rational and fantasy forms. His works are spontaneous, gestural forms, unpretentious, and fragmentary.
