Sjur Eide Aas deals with universal phenomena that he discovers in his everyday environment. His works are transformations of everyday events, situations, mechanisms and objects, which he transforms into minimalist or whimsical sculptures.
The sculptures consist of a variety of materials such as wood, textiles, beeswax and found objects, which he combines in unconventional ways. This choice of materials contributes to the complexity and playful character of his works.
By emphasizing the absence of things, his installations create an atmosphere of the unspoken and the open, creating space for the viewer’s imagination. The works are rich in references from literature and scientific theories and bring poetry and physical laws into an interesting interplay.
In contrast to his remote country studio in Norway, Aas will now continue his search for the universal in the urban streets of Berlin, where encounters with new social and cultural dynamics will bring an additional dimension to his work.
