About this artwork
Sculpture is always about the shape and the material, the substance, the ancient Greek Hyles. The sculptor can deal more with the form and consider the material as a mere material, or more with the self-expression of this material. With this sculpture, both are brought into a calm, compact balance. Clearly designed, it lives from its own material. A wooden element assembled from wooden elements seems to slide out of a steel body. The wood is treated…
with rust of this steel which was then fixed. It is a sensually rich sculpture with a warm but also a little mysterious expression.
