Concept of the Artist

The work of Georg Herold has been of international importance for nearly three decades. Rejecting traditional materials, Herold creates sculptures, assemblages and wall-based ?drawings? using bricks, baking powder, wood, vodka bottles, buttons and mattresses. This has been linked to Arte Povera although any influence the movement has had upon him is likely to have filtered through the work of Joseph Beuys. Often political, his work engages with socio-cultural issues and art history yet denies any simple reading: ?I intend to reach a state that is ambiguous and allows all sorts of interpretations.?
