Detailed description

Sculpture "Vortex" (2002)

The stone actually comes from a river in the Alps. The artist has selected it from many thousands of stones to create a small sculpture from it. It was several kilometers that the granite pebble traveled in the artist's backpack before it was worked by hand, that is, with a hammer and sculpting iron. As a form, as in some other sculptural works of the artist, the Möbius's loop was the model. It is always the connection between finiteness and infinity, symbolized by this infinite loop, which fascinates the artist. The granite is black - white and mounted on a block of stone. The dimensions are without this block, but it is supplied with. The surface is ground but not polished, which creates an interesting tactile texture. The artwork is weatherproof and can stand well outside.

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.
