About this artwork
This wall object made of oak and iron with the somewhat poetic title "Ginsterblut" is characterized by its "simple" shape and the minimal use of materials.
The blackening around the "embedded" iron is the result of a natural process that occurs through the reaction of these two materials in combination with water.
The work speaks a soft, calm, yet very clear and distinct language.
The exclusive use of oak and iron combined with a very reduced… design language is the latest development in Sven Schilling's creative process.

« I am an artist who works innovatively and unconventionally with familiar natural materials. Rough and delicate, nature is the teacher! Sensual art that touches. »
Sven Schilling is a German sculptor whose works explore the connection between man and nature, the integration of man into the cosmos as it is formulated in anthroposophy. His compositions are exclusively created using oak, iron, and leather because he is fascinated by their feel. Also, Schilling prefers these materials as they have significance in the history of craftsmanship as well as in religions and myths.
