Nature is an Eternal Mystery

Reinhard Skoracki

Skoracki’s sculpture uses the human form along with humour and satire to express social and political views.

About this work

Skoracki’s sculptures illustrate the essence of what it means to be human. His bronzes use the human form along with humour and satire to express social and political views.

The material and formal precision are juxtaposed with the imprecise nature of our daily experience of the things that surround us. In this context, a triangle motif appears somewhat ambivalently within the figurative setting. I see cultural imagery as a way of organizing our emotions and decisions and therefore this piece is not just play; it is intended to open new perspectives for acting and thinking [...] [This] sculptural object is the transformation of the imagination into the landscape of the mind.
