ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Tranquility or Omen or Dog A thing of beauty is a joy forever (John Keats) When I saw the lines the shape of a black labrador stretched on the floor I did not see a dog but a melody a sequence of forms of bones of muscles covered by flesh skin dense black hair visually transformed into a thing of beauty. This is not a copy of a specific dog but a body that strives to capture the essence of a dog. A readiness, obedience, expectation, other time horizon and rhythm. To me it exudes tranquility, to others this low long streamlined form may convey an omen, a portent of good.

I pursue the visual expression of human emotions, sensations, qualities. The interplay of faith, hope and love, of good and evil. In a secular and in a religious context. And sometimes lighter topics. The passion of forming an expression in wax, anticipating with joy the additional dimension of the forthcoming patinated bronze surface. Of reduction to the essential, to reveal the bare soul of the object or theme. My first bronze sculptures date back to 1997 and in 1999 I was awarded my first permanent installation; the stations of the cross in a church in Hong Kong - still there. I have also worked on canvas, with a series of six large landscapes to be sketched in six days on the Isle of Skye, Inner Hebrides as a future project. I admire Sir Jacob Epstein and Alfred Hrdlicka as sculptors for the raw quality of their works, Francis Bacon for his thematic monism on human suffering and Lucien Freud for his most admirable display of flesh, this visible outer human shell. British portrait sculptor Bryan Ellery taught me the ropes of modelling and mold making when I started to sculpt. My works are currently installed and displayed in public and private in Hong Kong, Singapore, Shanghai, Austria and Los Angeles. I was born in Austria In 1964 but have spent most of my life in Asia, currently residing in Singapore. I have been working closely with a foundry in Thailand for the past two decades. In addition to creating two and three dimensional artworks, I hold a senior position in a financial institution in Singapore.
