Rückriem Ulrich, *1938 (Düsseldorf) Lives in Clonegal, Ireland, and Agon, France, works with sculpture and drawing. Untitled,2000 Wall relief, 240 x 180 x 30 cm © Ulrich Rückriem Originally a stonemason by trade, Rückriem developed a set of working techniques for his stone sculptures in the late 1960s that he has continued to employ ever since. The process – which he refers to as his "grammar", enabling 560 different variations – involves cutting, splitting, sawing and drilling the quarry stone, polishing some surfaces while leaving others untreated. Out of respect for the natural qualities of the stone, the reworking is always kept at a minimum. The sections are then pieced back together, with the fissures and marks of the interventions still visible, as in this work executed in Bleu de Vire granite. |
