Sabine Pierick: 1315 · Title: Big Player · Dimensions: 150 x 150 cm · Material: Real copper disc on various granulated hard coal · Year: 2015 Description: The monumental work "Big Player" is in the tradition of late modern material and process art, but reflects contemporary discourses on sustainability and resource awareness. The circular composition, realized in graduated coal and real copper, transcends the purely formal aesthetics of minimalist art and opens up a complex dialogue between industrial heritage and contemporary material aesthetics. The materials used are not only relevant in terms of formal aesthetics, but also give the work cultural and historical significance: the coal, as a witness to industrialization and at the same time as a fossil remnant of geological processes, points to the ambivalence of human development. Copper, on the other hand, one of the oldest metals used by humans, symbolizes both technological progress and the elemental connection to the earth. In the tradition of Arte Povera and German post-war material artists such as Joseph Beuys, Pierick develops his own material language that explores the tension between nature and culture, between geological time and human history. The haptic quality of the surface invites multi-sensory perception and thus overcomes the traditional distance between viewer and work of art. Back

Sabine Pierick: 0915-01 · Title: Transformation · Dimensions: 160 x 210 cm · Material: Real copper on various granulated coal · Year: 2015 Description: The large-format material image presents itself as a powerful composition that impresses with the dramatic contrast between the deep black, graduated coal and the luminous real copper elements. The vertical arrangement of two mirrored, flame-like copper shapes, separated by a narrow gap, evokes associations with Lucio Fontana's groundbreaking "Concetto Spaziale" works of the 1950s and 60s. In the context of contemporary material art, the work positions itself at the interface of various discourses: It reflects questions about resources and their cultural significance, addresses the relationship between nature and industrial transformation, and, through its contemplative quality, opens up a space for existential reflections. Pierick's work is in the tradition of material and process art, but develops an independent position in contemporary art through the specific use of industrial materials and its reduced, almost mystical formal language. The work combines material presence with spiritual transcendence, creating a multi-layered meditation on time, transformation and the relationship between man and material. Back

JWM Museum Westphalia The dignity of every human is inviolable Dignity of perception As a copper inlay in a charcoal background broken a thousand times into countless shimmering stones, the ancient symbol of intertwining triangles shines golden towards the viewer. A gathering of souls of a special kind manifests itself in the large-format panel painting when one listens to Sabine Pierick's thoughts on her work. From the depths of existence, the dead and the living penetrate the picture surface, stone by stone, bone by bone, breathing, exhaled, submerged, resurrected, living, pulsating, passing on.... Never-ending flow of life, embraced by the black gold in the heat and energy-storing element copper, sediment upon sediment, moving surfaces, quiet grounds, shift work on a human task. Death and resurrection, warning and encouragement, thesis, antithesis, synthesis, embrace in showing attitude: stand up, don't go along with it, listen to the quiet tones, look closely, question, take nothing for granted, don't let yourself be blinded, not even by the most beautiful symbol. Sabine Pierick's Star of David reminds us to stay awake. Her approach is ruthless perception. This does not exclude beauty. Photographic reproductions cannot do justice to Sabine Pierick's work. The image needs to be viewed up close to unfold its magic. The copper six-pointed star shines with varying intensity and color depending on the viewing angle and lighting against a background of countless shimmering fragments. She is also fascinated by the elements as building materials of life. The artist can still feel the energy that was used to obtain the raw materials during the processing, even if their form changes fundamentally. Her work appears archaic, through physical transformation. The works charged with this energy captivate you precisely because of their materiality and protrude into the room like sculptures. Back

VENICE, 20.04 - 24.11 2024 BIENNALE ARTE 2024 Palazzo Bembo - C007 Sabine Pierick - Pallazzo Bembo - Room C007 Sabine Pierick bring unique and compelling reflections on climate change trough their distinct artistic approaches.. The artist graapple with themes of environmental fragility and human responsibilit. The methodes of expression and materials differ greatly. 118/17 150 x 150 cm 666 150 x 150 cm CO2 - Z 2 parts 150 x 150 cm Die Installation „ELEMENTARY: 666 – 108/17 – CO2Z“ von Sabine Pierick geht die globale Klimakrise aus einer industriellen, aber zugleich elementaren Perspektive an. Pierick verwendet Kupfer, Kohle und Wasser – Materialien, die sowohl symbolisch als auch konkret mit dem Diskurs um den Klimawandel verbunden sind. Ihre Arbeit ist eine Verschmelzung von Kunst und Wissenschaft, wobei Kupfer sowohl die Formbarkeit menschlichen Handelns als auch die Verantwortung der Nationen zur Erreichung von Klimazielen verkörpert. Die spiralförmige Struktur von CO2Z, gefertigt aus einem 15 Meter langen Kupferrohr, ist eine scharfe Kritik an der Untätigkeit der globalen Gemeinschaft. The installation symbolises the fragile balance betweeen the earth`s resources and the human race`s relentless consumption. Pierick`s use of the chemical periodic rtable highlights the elemental forces at play, while her stark message about greenwashing warns of the dangers of superficial climate solutions. …. Heat accelerates the ice`s disappearance, underscoring how human actions directly affect environmental degradiation. The sculpture`s unyielding paralysis, despite appearing mobile, is poignant reminder of our collective inertia in adressing climate change. Back

Sabine Pierick: 117-2 · Title: Junction · Dimensions: 150 x 120 cm · Material: Real copper on various granulated coal · Year: 2018 Description: This work presents itself as a complex composition on real copper, structured by a network of precisely drawn lines. The geometric abstraction is reminiscent of constructivist traditions, particularly the works of Piet Mondrian and the Russian Constructivists, but is here transferred into a contemporary context through the material presence of the copper. The black lines that run across the warm copper surface create a dynamic tension between order and chance. On the one hand, these lines appear mathematically precise, but as a whole they develop an almost organic quality that is reminiscent of urban structures or cartographic records. The material dialectic is particularly remarkable: the real copper with its characteristic coloring and surface structure forms a living background that enters into an active dialogue with the applied lines through its natural patina and reflective properties. The choice of material refers to industrial processes and traditional craftsmanship at the same time. Back

Sabine Pierick: · Title: CO2 - Z · Dimensions: 150 x 150 cm (2 parts) · Material: ·Copper pipe on iridescent petrol background · Year: 2024 Description: "CO2-Z" is more than just an artwork – it is a statement, a fusion of aesthetic innovation and burning topicality. The centerpiece of the installation is a fascinating wall object made of handcrafted copper on canvas. The deep, meditative luminescent petroleum is traversed by precisely placed copper lines that culminate in a central ring - a visual metaphor for our planet's carbon cycle. The materials used - copper, coal, and water - are carefully chosen to reflect the complexity of the climate debate. Pierick's innovative technique transforms a 15-meter-long copper pipe into a delicate structure that simultaneously unites industrial precision and organic shaping. The installation is complemented by an amorphous floor component that can be adapted to different exhibition spaces, thus offering flexibility for various contexts. "CO2-Z" is not just an aesthetic eye-catcher, but also a work of high conceptual depth. It addresses one of the most pressing issues of our time - climate change - in a manner that is both intellectually stimulating and visually impressive. In this fusion of aesthetic refinement and ecological engagement, Pierick's work aligns itself with the tradition of conceptual and environmental art. She creates a dialogue between industrial precision and natural unpredictability, challenging the viewer to reflect on the complex interconnections between human actions and global environmental changes. "CO2-Z" promises to be a conversation piece of enduring value that redefines the boundaries between art, science, and ecological consciousness. One can be pessimistic if one looks at the possible end. Sabine Pierick explores the flourishing certificate trade in an artistically ruthless way as a doomsday scenario, already down to earth. Anyone who does not pull the lever ends up in a dripping, tarry puddle of lifelessness. Her frighteningly clear formula is greenwashing = doomdating. The impetus is clear: anyone who rids themselves of their responsibility not only risks, but is responsible for the decline of our planet into irreversible rigidity. When Robert Smithson placed his legendary 1500-meter-long earthwork "Spiral Jetty" at the edge of a salt lake in Utah in 1970, he combined the formally highly energetic landmark of black basalt stones with a deeply spiritual force tied to geology. Today, his land art icon, which remained invisible for decades due to flooding, lies dormant once again in the desolation of the salt flats. Inevitably, one senses the connection of the spiral-shaped symbols through the centuries. Topic: Water Risk. Fifty-four years after Smithson, Sabine Pierick lays down her 15-meter-long copper spiral installation like a universal memorial directly on planetary ground, instantly mapping humanity's realm of responsibility on a global scale. Is it still an oasis, or already on the way to becoming a wasteland? The CO2-Z spiral challenges the mind to focus while relentlessly expanding perception to take personal responsibility. When everything is at stake, the symbols must be compelling—especially as darkness encroaches ever more. Back

Sabine Pierick: DIGITAL OVEREUPHORIA · Title: 666 · Dimensions: 150 x 150 cm · Material: copper threads on black differently granulated carbon background · Year: 2023 Description: From the circle of coal, broken a thousand times over in black and gold, like a silhouette background encircling the world, the copper soul spins a memorizing thread as a human lament. Or 666. A veined labyrinth of a world on the self-destructive edge of limitless possibilities. Or an airy web against the ghosts that one has summoned and that one could still grab if one only wanted to. This artistic vision seems to be deeply rooted in the exploration of matter, nature and transformation. She uses her materials to reflect the duality of chaos and order, nature and man, permanence and transience. Her works invite the viewer to experience the transformation of raw materials into art and to discover an emotional and spiritual connection to these processes. This enigmatic work "666" manifests a remarkable synthesis of technology-critical reflection and aesthetic finesse. The large-format work, which is characterized by its stringent composition and the virtuoso use of charcoal and copper, transcends mere material presence and establishes itself as a multi-layered commentary on the digital turning point. The central, circular composition, which is made up of exactly 666 threads, immediately evokes associations with neural networks or digital connections. This numerical precision is by no means arbitrary; it deliberately refers to the sales price of the first Apple computer and thus creates a subtle connection to the genesis of personal computer technology. At the same time, the numerical symbolism evokes the biblical connotation of the "number of the beast", whereby Pierick cleverly initiates a critical discourse on the potential ambivalence of technological progress. A remarkable dialectic is manifested in the material execution: the use of coal and copper - materials that are emblematic of the industrial revolution - to represent digital networking builds a bridge between different eras of technological evolution. This choice of material is not only aesthetically but also conceptually stringent and underlines Pierick's nuanced understanding of the historical dimension of her subject. The work "666" oscillates between abstract representation and concrete material presence, with the filigree copper threads developing an almost kinetic quality. In the context of contemporary art, "666" positions itself as a significant contribution to the discourse on the digital transformation of society. Pierick succeeds in transforming the often abstract and elusive nature of digital networking into a concrete, physical form without falling into simple illustration. Instead, she creates a work of remarkable conceptual depth that is simultaneously aesthetically captivating and intellectually challenging. The "digital over-euphoria" that Pierick critically reflects here is not denounced in a striking way, but rather is transformed through aesthetic transformation into a field of tension that invites the viewer to engage in their own critical reflection. In this respect, the work proves to be paradigmatic of an art that addresses the pressing questions of the present without giving up its aesthetic autonomy. Back

Sabine Pierick: 1115 · Title: Flux · Dimensions: 150 x 120 cm · Material: Real copper on various granulated coal, petrol · Year: 2015 Description: The work "FLUX" impresses with its rhythmic structure of parallel diagonals in three materials: the velvety black of charcoal, the metallic shine of real copper and the intensity of petrol. This triad is reminiscent of the material experiments of Arte Povera, but through the precise geometric arrangement it develops its own quality, oscillating between order and sensual presence. The diagonal alignment creates a dynamic tension that sets the picture in motion despite its strict composition. The technical execution of the material transitions is remarkable; despite the geometric rigor, they have a subtle liveliness. This is particularly evident in the slightly irregular edges of the copper strips, which are reminiscent of the tactile quality of Robert Ryman's material art. The use of petrol as a contemporary color accent also creates a spatial depth that elevates the work beyond a purely geometric abstraction. In the systematic repetition of diagonal stripes and the precise processing of materials, Pierick develops the minimalist tradition into an independent position that combines precise craftsmanship with material sensuality. She succeeds in creating a contemporary interpretation of geometric abstraction that brings the constructivist heritage into a convincing dialogue with contemporary material aesthetics. Back

Sabine Pierick: SEASONAL HAPPINESS · Title: Summer · Dimensions: 150 x 150 cm · Material: Real copper disc on various granulated hard coal · Year: 2022 Description: Sabine Pierick’s works reveal an artistic vision that is strongly influenced by the connection between nature, matter and transformation. Sabine Pierick uses unusual materials such as coal and real copper, which draw on natural, raw elements. This choice suggests that she explores the physical nature of the world - both its permanence and its mutability - as the basis of her art. Copper, which oxidizes over time, and coal, which is deeply connected to industrial and natural processes, are symbolic of change and transformation. Her artistic vision may aim to reveal the hidden beauty and potential of such materials, transforming them into something visually dynamic. In her artistic practice, Pierick uses a methodology that is reminiscent of the conceptual art of the 1960s and 70s, especially artists such as Hans Haacke or John Cage, who integrated natural processes into their works. By exposing the copper discs to the elements for a quarter at a time, the artist elevates nature itself to the role of co-creator. This approach results in a fascinating synthesis of artistic intention and natural intervention. Back
