A New Discussion

Kain Tapper's art springs from experiences of nature. He contemplates natural phenomena like the wind, frost, morning mist or structures in nature. He also has a long-standing interest in the triangular shape of the animal skull. Perceptions of natural phenomena are transformed into sculptures. In this they undergo a process of translation into the language of sculptural forms.

The sculpture A New Discussion consists of three parts. The forms are abstract, but they are executed in a way that is reminiscent of sketches done by hand. The vibrant tension created by this juxtaposition of geometry and impressionistic touches of the hand creates a feeling of organic growth, or of the way we experience movement in nature, such as that of the wind. The three parts of the sculpture create an internal field of tension, a place for reflection.

The scale of the sculpture is adapted to that of man, being related to the human body. The proposal for a "new discussion" is addressed to the viewer.
