Forest Mirror by Eduard Locota, Wall Sculpture Polished Brass, Brass Wire, Coal

Offered by: LO Contemporary

Description
If we analyzing the past of the material: its transformation from a plant into a rock, and currently into the fuel; we can try to predict the new and complex future of coal and similar fossil-fuel.

The artist is reinterpreting the purpose of fossil fuel, we actually go beyond recycling, towards an active transformation of the material.

The artwork tell the story our forests, of the trees and ecosystem in which we live, synthesized and transformed into a currency of exchange [reference to the golden color].

The lake in the center can be interpreted as a mirror of our ego, that would sometimes do anything for a little… gold. Rather than look at an image of the artist’s making, the viewers are now confronted by themselves, questioning a long-held notion of transcending reality.

In the contemporary context, channeled almost exclusively on our natural resources, once abundant natural resources such as fossil fuel, water and even clean oxygen, become rare commodities.

About the artist:
"In the current context focused on excessive and unsustainable consumerism, the 21st century welcomes us with a Darwinian transformation for both men and nature. Evolution which leads to the development of a synthetic man living in a synthetic nature. Heavy topics as regeneration and sustainable environment are thrown into the arms of the future generations, that have not been born yet.

Thus, the artist’s creations highlight the synthesis through alternative materials used, such as: synthetic marble (resin and marble dust), synthetic resin (Plexiglass), synthetic cement (Jesmonite), charcoal, wood, and so on. His works have a powerful conceptual plasticity but also physical plasticity, a concept that can be interpreted as modern works of the 21st Century."
