Gruppen Venusspejlet - Randers, Denmark - Abstract Public Sculptures on Waymarking.com

Den nordjyske stenhugger og billedkunstner Knud Erik Christensen har skabt denne spændende skulptur. Knud Erik Christensen var op gennem 1970erne optaget af den abstrakte, non-figurative skulptur, men begyndte i 1980erne at arbejde med organiske planteformer, hvor volumen, flade og linje spiller en stor rolle.

Venusspejlet hører til blandt kunstnerens senere værker, og vi ser her både volumen, planteformer og linjer spille sammen i et feminint udtryk. Skulpturens svungne, organiske former og lysets og skyggernes spil på granittens hårde og grove overflade giver skulpturen karakter og en overraskende dynamiske virkning.

Venusspejlet er det danske navn for kvindetegnet.

The North Jutland stonemason and artist Knud Erik Christensen has created this exciting sculpture. Knud Erik Christensen focused in the 1970s on the abstract, non-figurative sculpture, but began in the 1980s to work with organic plant forms in which volume, surface and line played a big role in his works.

Venusspejlet is among the artist's later works, and we here see both volume, plant shapes and lines interact in a feminine expression. The sculpture's curving, organic shapes and the light and shadows on the granites hard and rough surface gives the sculpture character and a surprisingly dynamic effect.

Venusspejlet means The Venus Mirror and is the Danish name for the female gender symbol, The Venus Symbol.
