Wire Art

ZoooooZ works with the Idea, do not force the Material und follow the Forms it loves to have. Wire loves chaotic round shapes twisted into themselves, repeating themselves over and over again. A mathematician sees the world of fractals [6] here. Flowers and nets are created. ZoooooZ has developed a classic still life from this, a playful bowl from which the apples roll out, bananas and cherries are created from the simplest coils of wire fixed with pure acrylic on a canvas. The Coloring is made to express the Form. Kandinsky's study of colour [7]
