Cristaux

"This work is entitled Crystals and was commissioned from the artist Pierre Watsky. It is the last work to be installed at the Nouveau Bassin, in 2013. This work is special because the artist died prematurely just after the City of Mulhouse had approved the purchase of the work. Pierre Watzky had already prepared the models and drawings of his work, but it was Roland Vonarzx who finally realized the work from these notes and sketches

The work represents a mineral exploited in mines, here it is a rock salt in its crystalline form, that is to say an interweaving of different volumes of simple geometric shapes. Many then said that cubism had integrated the works of the New Basin. Indeed, there is in this work a work of forms, geometry, volumes. This work echoes the life and career of the artist who worked himself at the bottom of the potassium mines in the region.
