The cupboards of Stefan Buxbaum - a casting and concrete expert - are technical feats: the corpus is cast in one piece, in a lightweight technique. For his emblematic plant models, the artist applies his chosen specimens and petrifies those paragons of beauty as permanent reliefs onto the surfaces.
The plants appear as being petrified. We are also reminded of the art deco era or Jugendstil, however, in new flesh, projected into the present and the future through the use of this contemporary material as concrete.
The beauty of nature becomes even more manifest, the finesse of the plants is more obvious, being cast into a timeless state for eternity.
The artist’s preferred material is concrete which qualities and limits he challenges. His body of work is characterized by a dialogue between seemingly disparate elements: the chasteness and timeless hardness of concrete meet the fragile vivacity and tenderness of plant specimens. There is a technical sophistication inherent in his work, which has its own melody and adds a new lightness and aesthetic to the gravity of the material.
SUITABLE FOR OUTDOORS.
