With Jörg Bach (*1964), we have a regional artist who also enjoys international renown as our guest in the 2-Raum.

Bach works with a material that requires consummate craftsmanship and the use of machines and tools such as welding equipment, burnishers, hammers, pliers and clamps. His sculptures create three-dimensional space and offer intriguing views through and beyond the works. The artist is concerned with the essence of humanity; with his own thoughts and feelings and his relationship with himself and others.

Jakob Leander Bach (*1990), son of Jörg Bach, works at the interface of art, design and craft. He is particularly fascinated by the material qualities of silver. Jakob Leander Bach mostly creates one-of-a-kind pieces. His objects look raw and robust; they recall natural forms such as rock formations or ice floes.

The unknown wants to be discovered, and perhaps it is the task of the artist to approach what he does not suspect.

I want my works to be like natural finds turned into silver.
