Detailed description

Sculpture "Blue river" (2023)

It was a trunk of a hornbeam probably fallen during a storm, which the artist fetched in winter on a sled from the forest. The trunk had probably been lying for some time, because it already had hardly any bark. Already the trunk was interesting with its organic flowing forms as a sculpture. It began an artistic dialogue in the design of a sculpture that does justice to the original character of the tree. Edges and lines were clarified and surfaces harmonized. Finally, everything was colored with an ultramarine blue pigment and a wood oil. In a very final step, sanding was again done gently to make the edge lines stand out more clearly. The sculpture is mounted with a small distance on a dark colored concrete slab, which can be changed if desired.

About Michael Rofka

Basically, I work in various media, with sculpture or sculpture takes a central role.
Increasingly important, however, are also land art projects on an international level. But I also paint and am musically active. Interdisciplinarity is important to me. Figurative elements are found only exceptionally and if these are rather plant forms. I have always been interested in natural science and nature forms a thematic center. For my sculptures I like to look for stones and wood in nature. However, I use steel or copper and also like to combine materials. The shaping of the sculptures follows on the one hand formal, geometric considerations, on the other hand it is found in a creative artistic work process. I am particularly interested in flow forms.
