Description
Helge Leiberg, Poesie & Pose – Bronzen
At first glance Helge Leiberg’s elongated figures with their thin bodies and big hands seem to remain motionless in their places, but with intent observation movement suddenly comes into play: the words that spring to mind include swinging, strutting, gyrating and dancing. It is a kind of expressive dance that mirrors the soul, revealing emotions such as excitement and passion, affection and disgust. As a rule the artist forms his figures spontaneously, without preparatory drawings, just like the impressionist “painter-sculptors” Renoir and Degas before him.
Helge Leiberg has incorporated dance into his performances on an equal footing with painting and music, and his works as a draftsman and artist’s books are also characterised by many variations of dance. In his sculptures – all collected for the first time in this publication – he succeeds in condensing these many forms of expression into moments of tremendous tension and concentration.
With contribution by Christiane Bühling, Jürgen Schilling.
