About this artwork
Most of the artist's sculptures have an expression of lightness and mobility and are rather light. A dark work has now been created here. It was a broken, strong oak branch that the artist brought to his studio to work on. The wood was already dry and solid. There were only traces of rot just below the bark and oak is known for its durability. Using the curved natural shape and structure for a sculpture was both a challenge and a stimulus. In a long…
work process, another dynamic wooden sculpture was created, which is an exciting spatial body with its openings and overall shape. The wood was first stained with an almost black iron oxide pigment, sanded again and finally waxed. The sculpture is mounted on a small block of white marble. It is a light, dance-like melancholy that combines lightness and intellectual depth.
