Tony CraggGrenze weg Stahl mit Rostpatina Ca. 39 x 55 x 28 cm. Mit dem Signaturstempel "Cragg". Exemplar 24/35 (+6 A.P.). Edition Bild-Zeitung, Berlin.Mit beiliegendem signierten Photozertifikat des Künstlers.Abbildung eines anderen Exemplars.Von Beginn an hat Tony Cragg sein Verhältnis zum Organischen und deren Widergabe für sich geordnet mit der Entscheidung, Spuren der Natur in ihrer Reduktion nachzuahmen mit der Gewissheit, „dass Plastik die Kraft der Rekonstruktion hat und in sich selbst zum Instrument wahrer Imagination werden kann“. (Germano Celant) So gesehen hat Cragg die Eigenschaften des Materials als Voraussetzung für seine Arbeiten bevorzugt genutzt, eine für ihn über die Jahre typische Bildsprache zu entwickeln, von den Materialbildern aus gefundenem Holzabfall und Plastikteilen bis zu selbstentwickelten wie erfundenen Formen und Objekten. Die Bandbreite von stabilen Kunststoffen und die unendlichen Möglichkeiten, sie zu verarbeiten und zu gestalten, eröffnet dem Bildhauer für seine Bildwerke auch entsprechende Materialien zu entwickeln. Aus der Dominanz des Materials, sei es Kunststoff, Holz, Marmor, Glas, Bronze, Eisen fertigt Cragg bis heute überraschende, bis dato nicht gedachte, geradezu barock anmutende Skulpturen. Die Illusion in den erfundenen Formen ist dabei auffallend und ist vom Künstler eindringlich inszeniert. Die Frage nach dem „Wie“ und dem „Woraus“ geht einher mit der Frage nach dem Sinn der Form. Bei all dem verliert Cragg nie den Blick auf die Ästhetik, die nicht zuletzt in der Oberfläche seinen edelsten Auftritt hat. Bei gusseisenen Objekten, wie diese hier, gilt dies auf eine ganz besondere Weise. Gegenüber harten Kunststoffen oder Glas hinterlässt der Guss eine sehr sensible und verletzbare Oberfläche, gleichsam eine puderige Patina, die das geglättete Material Eisen nach dem Guss aus sich selbst heraus im Prozess der Oxidation erzeugt. Tony Cragg überlässt der chemischen Reaktion also die Einflussnahme auf das ästhetische Erscheinen seines Bildwerks. Tony CraggGrenze weg Steel with rust patina Approx. 39 x 55 x 28 cm. With signature stamp "Cragg". Numbered 24/35 (+6 A.P.). Edition Bild-Zeitung, Berlin.With accompanying signed photo certificate by the artist.Illustration of an different cast.Right from the start, Tony Cragg classified his relationship to organic aspects and their rendition with the decision to copy traces of reduced forms in nature with the certainty 'that plastics have the strength of reconstruction and can in themselves become an instrument of true imagination.' (Germano Celant) In that respect, Cragg has mainly implemented the characteristics of the material as a prerequisite for his works in order to develop a visual vocabulary that has become typical for him over the years, starting with the material pictures made from finds of wood waste up to self-developed and invented shapes and objects. The range of stable plastics and the infinite possibilities of processing and designing them allows the sculptor to develop the respective materials necessary for his works. To date, Cragg produces astonishing, hitherto unimaginable, almost baroque sculptures, given the dominance of the material, be it plastics, wood, marble, glass, bronze, or steel. The illusion in the invented forms is striking and is forcefully staged by the artist. The question as to 'how' and 'from what' exists paralell to the question concerning the sense of the shape. However, Cragg never loses sight of aesthetics, the most important aspect being the nature of the surface. This is especially the case with cast-iron sculptures such as this one. In contrast to hard plastics or glass, the cast leaves a very sensitive and vulnerable surface and at the same time a powdery patina that the smoothened steel material produces of its own accord during the oxidation process. So Tony Cragg entrusts the aesthetic appearance of his work to the influence of the chemical reaction.
