This contemporary wall sculpture is forged from steel and painted red.Sculptor Stefan Duerst hand forges steel to create uniquely lyrical abstract sculptures. Their dynamic form is an expression of the artist’s desire to convey emotion and capture a moment in time. This piece—a single horizontal length of steel appears to be in motion as the ribbon-like form ‘ripples’ across the wall.
The raw steel is thickly powder coated in a glossy bold red. One of a series.
“As an artist, I am drawn to steel as a material for both its alchemical properties and the duality of its nature. It is heavy material and yet can be transformed into delicate, visual compositions filled with ethereal qualities.” Stefan Duerst
