Water Art
Water Art (Danish: Vandkunst) is a sculpture by Danish artist Anders Tinsbo that is on permanent display near Rundetårn in Copenhagen. It is composed of a bronze sculpture measuring 1.65 m tall and 2.20 m wide that rests on a rectangular red granite plinth, the surface glistened by flowing water. The sculpture was cast using a lost-wax (cire-perdue) process, and the plinth made of Argentinian granite with a polished mirror-like surface and roughly hewn sides. The sculpture and plinth are mounted on a concrete base that contains a hidden water-pump that decalcifies and recirculates the water. The tense, round curves and the polished bronze surface of the sculpture come together in a simple, soft movement winding around its core, which is space, and mirroring itself in the water-washed granite plinth. The work invites associations with sculptors like Henry Moore, Max Bill, Jean Arp, Brancusi and Alberto Viani. Tinsbo himself described his art as the "feeling of density, pressure and strength expressing itself in the plump parts, while the hollow spaces give an impression of lightness".
