Apassionata - Heinz Aeschlimann. Artist, Businessman, Visionary (English, German, Hardcover)

Heinz Aeschlimann has made himself a name in the art scene as an innovative artist who supplies the world of modern sculpture with new experiences. Aeschlimann crosses limits and boundaries with a persistent passion for everything he sets out to do. He is a trained civil engineer, an internationally known specialist for mastic asphalt, and a metal sculptor. Aeschlimann has intuitively recognised that his goals could only be realised through a combination of artistic vision, technical knowhow, philosophical insight, dynamism, social commitment, passion and perseverance. The coincidence of several of his different talents and activities is therefore logical and a substantial part of his success. The material he uses is sometimes bent into organically curved shapes other times it forms dynamically layered iron slabs or intersecting, interwoven components. Aeschlimann tests the boundaries of his materials. He subjects them to the force of an explosion, which produces strangely concave, convex or even absolutely unique deformations. As an artist and as a businessman, Heinz Aeschlimann's place is somewhere between the discord and the harmony of nature, technology and man. Text in English & German.
