Christoph Mertens nos lleva a la esencia de la materia a trav\u00e9s de sus esculturas, investigaciones espaciales que transmiten un orden emocional y sensitivo.
\nChristoph Mertens explota todas sus fruct\u00edferas y contempor\u00e1neas posibilidades. Sus investigaciones espaciales con distintos materiales, que pudo poner en pr\u00e1ctica en varios lugares de Berl\u00edn y otras localidades, son una ampliaci\u00f3n extraordinariamente inteligente de una escultura \u201cesencial\u00bb.<\/p>\n

El concepto de sus obras est\u00e1 basada en reglas auto condicionadas, sistemas, unas ordenaciones racionales las cuales est\u00e1n desarrollados a trav\u00e9s de dibujos o\/y sistemas numerosas, que le dirigen y limiten en el proceso de la obra, en la elecci\u00f3n del material como en el objeto final. A un lado le reducen las posibilidades inmensas en el proceso del arte y al otro lado abren un mundo dentro de esta reducci\u00f3n. <\/p>\n

Como crece un \u00e1rbol , que ritmo tienen las ventanas de una calle, como es la distribuci\u00f3n de vasos, platos, la comida en una mesa al momento de cenar, como es la tect\u00f3nica de una figura, donde tendr\u00e1 sus puntos de fuerza, donde est\u00e1n las partes del cuerpo relajado y finalmente que siente viendo estas cosas. <\/p>\n

Le interesan las variaciones y el cambio en un objeto determinado en el momento de influir en el mismo.<\/p>\n

\u00abMe gusta mas la palabra percibir que entender, porque percibir (begreifen) incluye mas el ratio y el sentimiento. Jedes Wort, dass ich \u00fcber meine Kunst schreibe, schlie\u00dft viele m\u00f6gliche andere W\u00f6rter aus. Cada palabra que escribo sobre mi arte elimina todas las posibles palabras que no pongo\u201d <\/p>\n

Christoph Mertens takes us to the essence of the matter through his sculptures, special investigations which transmit an emotional and sensitive order. Christoph Mertens explodes fruitful and all contemporary possibilities. His special studies with different materials, which could be implemented in several locations in Berlin and other locations, are an extremely intelligent extension of an \u00abessential\u00bb sculpture. <\/p>\n

The concept of his work is based on auto conditioned rules, systems, a rational orderings which are developed through drawings and \/ or numerous systems which direct and limit the process of the work, the choice of material and the final object. On one side will reduce the immense possibilities in the process of art and across open a world within this reduction.<\/p>\n

As a tree grows, that pace has the windows to a street, as is the distribution of cups, plates, food on a table when dining, such as tectonics of a figure, which will have its strong points, where they are parts of the body relaxed and finally you feel seeing these things.<\/p>\n

He is interested in the variations and change in a given object at the time to influence it.<\/p>\n

\u00abI like the word to perceive more than to understand, because perceiving (begreifen) includes more ratio and feeling. Jedes Wort, dass ich \u00fcber meine schreibe Kunst, viele andere schlie\u00dft m\u00f6gliche W\u00f6rter aus. Every word that I write about my art eliminates all
\npossible words that do not put \u201c <\/p>\n
