RUNE LAMBRECHT
The Danish visual artist Rune Lambrecht's has his studio in Aarsdale on Bornholm, Denmark. He works centered around sculptures and collages in a surreal and expressive idiom.
With inspiration from Bornholm's nature, Lambrecht works from an artistic approach that moves between a perceptive, tactile, and impulsive flow that intuitively manifests itself as organic works of art. Captivated by Bornholm's art and cultural history, Lambrecht is attracted by the simple and accessible, by autonomy, freedom of action and the forces of nature. In his works, you sense the surrealists of the 1930s, who formed an artist community in Gudhjem and united the abstract idiom with love for the rocky island.
Lambrecht primarily works in aerated concrete and uses a simple manual tool in processing it, e.g. the screwdriver. With the screwdriver, he slowly and intuitively works the concrete layer by layer. Here, the process, rather than the outcome, is the primary inquiry. With his practice, Lambrecht imitates the natural conditions that surround him – the calm rock and the rough sea – an eroding universe in constant motion. A geological erosion, a natural wear and tear on the landscape, is transferred with Lambrecht's practice to a natural state in the work with the fragile aerated concrete. A physical transfer of his subconscious to the material.
Rune Lambrecht (b. 1989) lives and works on Bornholm, Denmark.
