Galerie Bart is proud to present the ‘Structures that Reveal in Time’, a solo and garden exhibition with works by sculptor Josua Wechsler (1986, CH).
Whenever Josua embarks on a journey of discovery in nature, he seeks out the pure experience and strength that the natural environment has to offer. The fascination he has with the idiom and energy of natural processes is clear in all his work. The sculptures he creates are hybrid in character, mediate between nature and culture and often sharply contrast the stylistic elements of nature with unnatural material or colour use. Josua experiences the conflict between these two worlds on a daily basis, which keeps him and his thoughts in a state of flux. Because, although Josua feels most at ease outside, his search for a life close to nature is still a big challenge: “The problems humans have created have reached critical levels through our violation of the laws of life and our loss of a connection with our roots.”
