Mr.Dominik Stahlberg *born 77` in Hildesheim/Germany
*work & live in Massa/Italy & Hildesheim/Germany
*Contemporary Art : Sculpture/Installation
His artworks are mainly made out of marble combined with synthetic materials. The artist changes the identity of the stone with various colors and surfaces. The objects effect the sense as young, flashy and artificial but you can divine the eternity of the stone behind the patina. The expression is radical and sarcastic, on the first view funny, but it keeps not away the tragic and sadness.
He recognised soon that art is not a mirror to reflect the world in, but a hammer with which to shape it. So he studied sculpture and found his material, the marvellous marble. Besides his sculpturing he is involved in graffiti art and social theatre performances.
``Today our society is in first line- BAD -but who searches never the less - who is not afraid - can discover a lot of good in it - what we call humanity``
Stahlberg works with social cultural themes, sometimes autobiographical, to show our areas of life, without reproach.
The material he uses, the marble, is not longer visible as stone after processing by the artist.The patina of the surface creates the impression that it is a synthetic material.
Since August 2010 he is involved in the NO!art. This art-movement was founded in 1960 by the artists Boris Lurie, Sam Goodman and Stanley Fisher in NewYork. Since the 1960s less than 60 artists are involved ..
