Kreis-Rhythmus / Circular Rhythm
Alf Lechner’s sculptures are impressive in their simplicity. Often, the artist works with basic geometric shapes– circles, squares, cubes, and cuboids — and makes it possible to experience them in surprising new ways. He clearly explains his approach:
“I want to make systematically ordered thinking perceivable to the senses though planned deconstruction, distortion, and reorganization.” (Quote: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alf_Lechner).
Circular Rhythm is characterized by its reduced form and absolute clarity. The artist made a circle out of a steel square bar and split it open in one spot. After around two thirds of its circumference, it is bent outward into the surrounding space. The result is a rhythmic rising and falling line — an astonishingly complex form; its simple deconstruction only becomes clear upon closer inspection.
