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.
