EXHIBITION
ESPEN DIETRICHSON
SKETCHES FOR A MECHANICAL SUNRISE
Dietrichson`s sculptures occupy UKS with a monumental strength and airy elegance. The objects, which have strong references to vehicles and architectonic structures, offer an immediate presence, which resonates and reflects their spatial environment. The apparently mechanical objects are created from an artist`s sensitivity and an engineer`s technical accuracy. They are fragile and forceful at the same time. By fusing formal elegance and simplicity with a rebellious and humorous touch, Dietrichson manages to create objects of outermost complexity promising the impossible.
