About the work
How can one extruded line carry the elegance of the human body? Martin George’s answer leaves out face and limbs and keeps only the movement of a dancer mid-turn, in a single band of matte black aluminium that loops and ties itself into a knot.
The work sits on an engineered bearing, so it turns, and the knot tightens and opens as it moves. Each turn presents a new silhouette.

About Martin George

While Martin George can undoubtedly make a totally convincing piece of modernist sculpture, viewable from all directions and immaculately constructed, he also likes in catching the spectator unawares. Things are frequently not quite as they first seem ...
Classical Dynamism
My current enquiry focuses on condensing human dynamism into a sculptural form, framing it through a post human lens. Classical Dynamism consists of a stainless steel form placed atop a marble monolith, I wish to investigate how we can learn about ourselves through the artifacts we leave behind.
“George pairs his finely finished metal pieces with an old leather basketball, a bowl of pretzels or an elegant marble coffee table with a crude iron weight. Sturdy, but energetic, Georges works are interactive, restless and even kinetic.”
In this troubled world of earthquakes, floods, wars and global warming,
it is a sheer delight to find a dedicated sculptor with such an ironic sense of
humour and a highly developed sense of the ridiculous. Ken Scarlett OAM extracted from Solo Show Berlin 2016, Kraftwerk.
