Soul Gate 89

About Soul Gate 89

This contemporary wall sculpture is forged from steel and painted blue.

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. For Duerst, Soulgate is ‘a labour of love.’
This piece—a single vertical length of steel appears to be in motion as the ribbon-like form ‘ripples’ down the wall. The raw steel is thickly powder coated in a glossy jewel-tone blue. One of a series.

“Creating sculpture is a very grounding experience for me. I am able to express my emotions in a very direct and physical way.” Stefan Duerst

Duerst completed his Masters in Metalwork with distinction. Stefan Duerst has exhibited throughout North America.
