VRAA EXHIBITION 2022
Claus Ørntoft deltager med:
Å-væsen
Jeg tror på den direkte fortælling, hvor jeg ofte bruger dyret som katalysator. I mine arbejder er jeg optaget af sindbilledet og går ikke efter hovedet, men efter Solar Plexus. Min ambition er at ramme beskueren før vedkommende når at få paraderne op.
Jeg tror på at man i det før-sproglige punkt, er i et almenmenneskelig rum, hvor vi alle eksistensielt er i samme båd.
Bronzeskulpturen er forarbejde til en skulptur der er tænkt ind i en helhedsbearbejdning af Øster Å i Aalborg. Ude i åen vil et stort skulpturelt væsen stå ind i sig selv - direkte på bunden og op imod strømmen. I min tanke bliver den sin egen mytologi og skal holde hele kompositionen i en ulmende energi.
