The
Idea
Idea
With his sculpture made of glass, mosaic and
hand-carved figurative representations made of
copper, the artist Gerd Frank shows his entire
own perspective on Europe of the year 2019.
Glass and mosaic works show the coherence of
Europe, but the cohesion is divided.
The once so wild bull, which led "the" Europe
of antiquity through the countries, has shed
it horns and stands up without strength the spot
while Europe, represented here as a sexless
figure, is still trying to spur on the bull.
The wooden planks represent a section of the
European flag, which has 12 stars. The meaning
of the stars should originally stood for the
values of UNITY - SOLIDARITY - HARMONY between
the European peoples.
The unit is divided. Unfortunately, solidarity
is not far off and the harmony between the
states only works selectively.
Abroad we are all foreigners, but in Europe
we are all Europeans...
