Sculptors

Robert Firgau

“For me, sculpture is a process of unveiling, that finds expression on the concrete level in clear abstract in clear abstract forms. When the resonances succeed and the intimacy of the process can unfold, the sculpture becomes calm, balanced.., tension and the ability to move.”

Simple formal language – full of experiential possibilities and intensity – characterises characterises the sculptures, the sculptural work of the artist Robert Firgau. “His works convince through a simplicity that is at the same time full of depth, seriousness and a touch of humour.”
