About:

The sculpture "Stellar Core" is a 'collage' of three dimensional images of celestial bodies. Images that Jone Kvie has collected and turned into an abstract sculpture.

When large celestial bodies are transformed into a sculpture for beholding and scrutiny, human desire to make nature subject to measurements and empirical findings are brought into focus. In Kvies works this scientific approach is given equal status to the romantic idea of the sublime, in which man is overwhelmed by a feeling of impotence in the meeting with nature. Jone Kvie is repeatedly able to convey this dualism in his works in which insistence on and analysis of corporeal phenomenons reveal them as mysterious and enigmatic.

There is a striking discrepancy between the large sculptures and the viewer, who seems incomparably small in relation. This discrepancy emphasizes the experience of the work, which thematizes mans fear, powerlessness and fascination with phenomenons he cannot control. Confronted with Jone Kvies sculptures, the viewer fails to control the object and is caught in an experience extended between the finite and the infinite.
