Peter Schwickerath

 

"The subject of my work is the relationship that connects mass , space and volume and the effect of the physical environment in space. To me, the surfaces represent the boundaries of the body, whose lines, colour and structural aspects converge seamlessly and honestly - together, they convey my intent.

I like clearly defined forms, such as, square columns or cylinders - they create, in their different ways, a wonderful interplay between mass and volume; and designed to create spatial references recognizable to the viewer.

Finally, I am particularly interested in the multitude of possibilities present in formal simplicity and strictness."

Peter Schwickerath
