Detailed description

Sculpture "Inclination" (2009)

It was a piece of a bent birch trunk that served the artist as the basis for this sculpture. The slope of the piece became the subject. The round trunk was given a rectangular cross-section almost like a bent beam. The work was done with a Japanese hand saw. A rectangular opening was worked into the center of the sculpture. From the concave side there is a flowing structure, on the convex side the opening almost looks like a window. The wood was already attacked by fungi, but still solid. This gives the materiality of the sculpture a special expression in the otherwise simple design. The wood is waxed and the sculpture is mounted on a steel plate. It has been present at various exhibitions.

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.
