Grand in scale, austere in demeanour, the bowls of Lars Zech venture beyond the realm of the vessel. This artist is rooted in the natural world that inspires him: His atelier – a year-round campsite devoid of a house and heating but equipped with power and water – sits at the edge of Germany’s Black Forest.
Zech discovers his bowl shapes inside tree trunks, felled due to disease, age, or weather damage. Some of them are 300 years old, and he sees giving the trees new life in bowl form as a way of reviving the strength, energy and majesty that they once possessed.
Zech’s largest piece, made from a single block of oak and measuring 51 inches in diameter by 31 inches high, represents a natural progression from the oversize orbs he previously sculpted. The average bowl is 30 inches across, made from bleached ash, beech, elm or oak. Besides the bowls, the artist creates wall sculptures and furniture, such as oak stools with an oil-treated fire finish that makes them weather-resistant.
