Hartmut Stielow (born June 13, 1957 in Benthe near Hanover ) is a German sculptor .

Life

From 1977 to 1983 Stielow studied sculpture at the Berlin University of the Arts ; In 1983 he became a master student with Bernhard Heiliger .

In 1982 he founded the group ODIOUS with David Lee Thompson , Klaus H. Hartmann , Gisela von Bruchhausen , Klaus Duschat and Gustav Reinhardt . The six steel sculptors who had studied together at the University of the Arts in West Berlin worked for many years in a shared studio in Berlin and exhibited together on a regular basis. The name ODIOUS (eng. Disgusting) alludes to the fact that the artists used industrial materials that they z. B. searched in junkyards.

Stielow took part in sculptor symposia and exhibited at Blickachsen 1 and 2 (1997 and 1999). In 1996 he was awarded the Darmstadt Secession Prize, of which he has been a member since then.

plant

Stielow's work is characterized by the contrast between the materials steel and stone (especially granite). His works often represent a composition of two elements, usually a steel element balances one or two parallel, elongated stone blocks. For this purpose, the steel element is either slotted so that steel and stone seem to penetrate one another, or it clasps the stone. The floating stone in these constructions seems to emphasize the hardness of the supporting steel. Conversely, the rusty color of the steel gives the light natural material a certain purity.
