Andreas Slominski

Andreas Slominski is a comtemporary artist who creates simple yet compelling colorful sculptural flowers. In his latest show in London he did a series of these flowers that represent the social and financial unrest throughout europe. He shows this through the bright, branching forms of the flowers that remind me of snowflakes or garden decorations. Their designs have a graphic form to them that comes from the combinations of basic shapes and lines that connect them and gives them a clear and almost playful feel. One piece has a two branches but only one has a blue flower. The other side looks as if it had been plucked off which is a metaphor for financial cuts taking place in many european countries. It is a simple shape created out of welded metal but it has a visually interesting pattern. Andreas Slominski creates relevant and current pieces that are a commentary on world events and are also artistically creative.
