Meuser

Meuser has been working for many years with the legacy of construction and industrial production: scrap metal, used steel and iron objects that have been destroyed and rejected; machine parts and factory relics. His early works were geometric sculptures and arrangements reminiscent of the constructivist and minimalist traditions. Since 2011, his works are forged, bent and twisted. Some are unchanged; their forms come from the scrapyard and from their disfigured heritage. This forms are painted by Meuser, using characteristic colors recognizable from the shipyards. Meuser reworks the objects: he crushes them, welds them. Applying enormous forces he makes the works light and elegant, his sculptures express their industrial origin and their pure material gravity. Far from the sacralization and fetishism of the sculptural tradition, he seeks mundane sensuality, transforming destroyed, and disfigured objects of lost purpose into something complex, stimulating, humorous and perhaps beautiful.
