Michael Kirch

AquabitArt gallery is proud to debut the works of Michael Kirch, a mathematician and former Wall Street strategist turned Berlin based artist and entrepreneur. For the past three years, Michael has focussed his energy on creating a series of gem-like sculptures and kinetic installations out of bronze, marble and alabaster in his studio in Berlin-Neukölln. The resulting objects are highly sophisticated and polished yet they also have a very essential, primordial quality to them.

In Michael's works, sensuality, sexuality and beauty join together as one creative healing force. As the viewer walks around each sculpture, the object and the viewer engage in a collaborative play of shyness and boldness, of being vulnerable and safe, of being seen and in hiding. Each sculpture, poised in physical balance and aesthetic harmony, reveals a rich interior life through a change in perspective.

Michael Kirch says: “I approach and appreciate the creative process as a journey of discovery for its own sake, without having a particular goal or objective in mind. This journey is full of challenges, frustration, excitement, mindfulness, healing and joy. I am excited to show my works now for the first time. This dialogue with the public is an important part of the creative journey, too. I look forward to this step with great curiosity and respect for the visitor. I want the exhibition to be a safe space where viewers can be vulnerable and gently curious about their feelings. Each viewer's interaction with my creations is a deeply individual and private experience. I am grateful to aquabitArt gallery for creating the space for this experience."
