Urs-P. Twellmann
Towers — this is the story of transforming where destruction and creation become as one. Materials get bent, broken, split and cut to become new forms.
Work begins.
Bio: Urs-P. Twellman (Switzerland)
Swiss artist Urs-P. Twellman has had an unusually productive relationship with natural forms and materials which he often cuts apart and then reassembles to create visual poetry. His stunning sculptures and installations reveal a high degree of craftsmanship as well as a gentle touch which presents the inherent beauty of the wood's original form.
His main focus lies on transforming. In this process — where destruction and creation become as one — materials are collected and analyzed: they get bent, broken, split and cut to become new forms or are arranged in a different context. The individual process can be long or short, free flowing or troublesome, can be hard physical work and lead through phases of chaos, disorientation and uncertainty — but it has to be a new challenge every time, resulting in expanding experiences and journeys of discovery.
