Description

Apart from the range of materials such as natural stone, metal, wood, plaster, sand and glass, the sculptures of Heinz Mack are characterised by their elemental, powerful nature in connection with light and/or movement. In his late works the artist continues to develop themes from earlier work phases, such as the stele with its ability to transform light and determine space. Typical of the last twenty years is his increased focus on sculptures of stone like granite or marble, sometimes of monumental size. Languages: English and German
