Herbert Golser A Quivering Solidity

29 May-11 Jul 2015

Overview

Reducing his chosen material to a maximum level of fragility and malleability, Herbert Golser transposes the wood into extraordinary organic artworks. His sculptures never lose sight of their raw material; he takes the wood back to a seemingly impossibly subtle form. At times the wood appears like wafer thin pages of an ancient manuscript, in others it forms sculptural shapes that approach the essence of a Brancusi. All of Golser’s sculptures contain an extreme delicacy, the wood appearing to tremble in the air, such is its extraordinary lightness.
