Wooden Sculpture by Bernd Lohaus, Belgium, 1996

Creator: Bernd Lohaus
Offered by: Goldwood by Boris

Description
Wooden sculpture by German artist Bernd Lohaus showcased in his solo exhibition at Galerie Micheline Szwajcer in 1996 Antwerp. Lohaus, a luminary figure in Antwerp's avant-garde art scene, more specifically in the formerly Wide White Space gallery, channels his profound exploration of materiality and language into a mesmerizing masterpiece. Crafted from Azobe wood, also known as red ironwood, sourced from wood dealers in Antwerp, this sculpture stands as a testament to the intersection of art and the urban landscape. Azobe wood, renowned for its resilience to seawater, was a staple in port and harbor constructions along the River Scheldt. Lohaus' meticulous yet minimalistic treatment of the wood allows its inherent characteristics to shine through, evoking a profound dialogue between material and meaning. Words delicately etched or ephemeral chalk inscriptions further elevate the sculpture, inviting viewers into a contemplative engagement with time, space, and human existence. With each stroke and inscription, Lohaus leaves an indelible mark on the viewer's psyche.
