In Martin Sieverding’s sculptures, the structure becomes the architectural framework, the colour surface its own fabric, its own colour skin. The phenomenon of shadow becomes part of the artwork itself. The varied white colour grows to become the bearer of meaning in this group of works. The bleached, frozen, snow-covered, spun effect refers to Martin Sieverding’s precise powers of observation. In the plasticity of his objects, the artistic processes continue to have an effect despite the reduced colour palette.
Since 2011, he has been represented at numerous exhibitions in NRW. The artist, born in 1961, has his studio in Mülheim an der Ruhr.
