Robert Kabas :
Metal Sculpture

With this two-part metal sculpture I want to illustrate the formal duality of nature and culture. In order to emphasise this idea, I chose as a location a field with a view of the town. The sculpture itself can be regarded as being both figurative and abstract. Organic form and technical structure are two forms of appearance, two complementary aspects of one and the same substance. Through minimal interventions, a geometric figure becomes human and vice versa. The opened surfaces of a cube make it possible to sense a space. Whether it is a matter of metal bodies on a field (an obstacle to mowing) or figures turned towards each other, the significance is created, as is well known, by the viewers themselves. The actual subject here is the ambivalence of things and of thoughts.
