Sculpture "Melancholia" (2020)
Most of the sculptures of the artist have an expression of lightness and mobility and are rather bright. Here now a dark work has been created. It was a broken down strong oak branch, which the artist brought to his studio to work on. The wood was already dry and solid. There were traces of rot only just below the bark and oak wood 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 working process, another dynamic wooden sculpture was created, which with its openings and overall shape is an exciting spatial body. The wood was first stained with an almost black iron oxide pigment, sanded again and finally finished with a wax. The sculpture is mounted on a small white marble block. It is a light, dance-like melancholy that combines lightness and thoughtful depth.
