MONUMENT

“MONUMENT” arranges blue vol­umes into an end­less mosaic of rising edges. Like stacked blocks, the forms fold into an opti­cal archi­tec­ture that pulses between light and shadow. Deep navy meets cool greys; rep­e­ti­tion cre­ates rhythm, sta­bil­i­ty, and subtle motion. The work honors the grav­i­ty of sim­plic­i­ty: geom­e­try as a blue­print for memory, space, and time—a mon­u­ment of calm that struc­tures walls and gath­ers the gaze. “MONUMENT” is part of the art series “Blue in a Square”, which includes 300+ artworks.

It Piles Up.

The mon­u­ment. It builds itself up. Higher and higher. Wider and wider. Bigger and bigger. It becomes a mon­u­ment through its dimen­sions, which shat­ter every­thing imag­in­able and famil­iar. Suc­cess is based on sim­i­lar aspects: ever more, ever higher, ever far­ther, ever greater. Until suc­cess appears monumental.
Yet the mon­u­ment has some­thing immov­able, some­thing oppres­sive. It casts every­thing into shadow. There they are again—the two sides of a thing. The desire for some­thing mon­u­men­tal is at the same time the desire for some­thing that must be oppres­sive. Some­thing that you can no longer get rid of. That takes com­plete pos­ses­sion of you.

My admi­ra­tion for these dimen­sions used to be con­stant. But over time I rec­og­nized the flip side. And my admi­ra­tion decreased step by step until it dis­ap­peared com­plete­ly. Much that enjoys great admi­ra­tion appears to me merely oppres­sive. Over time, my admi­ra­tion grew for the small, the flex­i­ble, the vari­able, the mobile, and the unap­proach­able sys­tems and things. It is not size that earns my admi­ra­tion, but pas­sion, con­nec­tion, devo­tion, and fulfillment.
The art­work “Mon­u­ment” shows the two sides: the fas­ci­na­tion with the mag­ni­tude of something—and, at the same time, the oppres­sive aspect. The art­work “Mon­u­ment” can be pur­chased online only via my web­site, exclu­sive­ly and direct­ly from me. Simply fill out the online form or send me an email. I very much appre­ci­ate the inter­est and the direct con­tact between artist and art lover. For admi­ra­tion on both sides is direct­ed toward the same thing: art.
