Wrzeciono Sprimont
petit granit
height approx. 180 cm
The first of four large-format abstract works in a series entitled Spindles. The title derives from the name of the location where the sculpture was created – the Belgian town of Sprimont, where the artist attended a sculpture symposium in 2000.
The composition, made of local anthracite granite, is both a separate work with an extremely sublime abstract form (column, spindle, rocket, missile) and simultaneously coexisting with the other three Spindles. /
