About the artist

Jürgen Heinz works with steel. With his MOVING SCULPTURES, the artist transcends the insurmountable
gap between archaic, heavy steel and gentle movement. The objects conceal their mobility in a closed form, which is first perceived as static plastic.

A slight impulse, a touch or a breath of wind makes the sculpture vibrate and awakens its liveliness. The MOVING SCULPTURES by Jürgen Heinz communicate with the viewer, touch, cast a spell and encourage action.

"The soul of the object comes out through the movement." Jürgen Heinz
