My favorite artist

My favorite artist is Wolgone Laib he was born in GERMANY IN 1950.when he was young he traveled to Afganistan, India Iran and other countries with his father. These experiences are important for him. When he got his medical doctor he gave up medicine and decided to become an artist. He tried to answer the question of spirit and soul trough art. I like his works named ” Milkstone” around 1 six centimeter block of marble and fresh milk. It was a behavior , every morning the artist or worker pour the fresh milk onto the marble and touched the surface of the marble using his fingers. Then there were 2 different colors about white. Fusion each other perfect. One of the white means the time the other white means the space. They  met each other shortly they abstract gives us many imagine about ourselves.
The second works of WL is ” Pollen from Hazelnut”. Samely it also was a behavior that he collected pollen in the nature by him self .  Then sieved this pollen and folled this pollen down on the floor. All of us know that, pollen means life so many yellow pollen lying on the floor give us the sense of quiet pure and beautiful, let us to rethink the meaning of life, of course also let us to rediscover nature. I like thew color of his works, simplicity and purity. The most important is material come from the nature have a strong appeal. I can feel the peaceful from his works so I like him very ,much.

Then there were 2 different shades of white. fusing each other perfectly. One of the shades means the time and the other shade means the space.
