Hans Some

At first impression metal shows itself to be the material of consistency and solidity, but it is also the material resistant to any changes. To create a sculpture from an unhewn block you have to employ a lot of energy and strength. This creative process is the continuous confrontation of the artist with the material.The essence of my work is this dialogue with the material reaching and exceeding its own limits.The experimented resistance – the resistance of the object – is an essential character of the significant experience of personal truth. With this exploration of the resistant opposite you can start a dialogue and experience yourself.

stainless steel, sphid|phague|glia series This work sensualises the two contrarious dualities in one – phague: devourer. Congestion, densification, introspection– but showing just a tendency to expand, too. Volume and its disolution, compactation vs. release and devolatilisation, motion through tension, space through omission, fracture vs. high polished beauty. With infinite options of sights & positions. So what is its condition? Where is the turning point, when inside turns outwards? Like inverting a sleeve...what will be left in the final stage? And my interest doesn't stop with completing the object, the completed work comes to existence again with its interelation with the environment
