WORKING MODELS (can be produced as large sculptures, table sculptures, or jewellery)
I develop the sculptures according to my sketches as working models on a scale of 1:10. Afterwards, most of them get created in 5 different sizes.
All miniatures shown here are working models on a scale of 1:10, i.e. raw models that will be used as blueprints for the life-sized originals (scale 1:1, or, if wanted, much larger) as well as for the table sculptures (scale 1:5 and 1:10) and partially for the jewellery miniatures (scale 1:50 and 1:100).
Almost all sculptures are reduced to two design elements: SPHERE and BAND. In life-size (scale 1:1) the sculptures are made of corten steel & a golden sphere. The sphere has a raw surface with "cosmic" inclusions, similar to the moon or the planets Mars and Venus. The sphere is 24 carat leaf gilded.
Under SCULPTURES ON LOAN you can see first images of originals (scale 1:1, with makeshift foundations) together with the location where they are exhibited.
The titles of the sculptures are specified in the enlargements. Much more sculptures ( more than 100 subjects ) already are sketched.
An exception (no sphere of gold) is "GAIA". Here the sphere has a precious mosaic surface: the Blue Planet - our MOTHER EARTH - features a layer of lapis lazuli, the gemstone of the pharaos, combined with tin gold, as an embedded flow that swells up and ebbs away, winding from the South Pole to the North Pole in a right-turn as a symbol for the evolution of life on our planet. The gaps in the mosaic of lapis lazuli are filled in with Amazon green gem mortar. The astrophysical tilt of the Earth's axis of rotation is incorporated.
The table sculptures' materials are more precious. The metal band is made of oxidised silver, the sphere is made of gold sheet. On demand, silver can be replaced by meteorite or platinum.
These precious metals are also intended for the jewellery minatures.
The sculptures and ideas are copyrighted.

Philosophy
All GOLDJOS sculptures are "provitalis", i.e. for the (respectively: out of) life.
Without sun, no life - without (sun-) light, no space (which is my credo as an architect).
The GOLDJOS sculptures are minimalistic and sometimes symbolic in multiple ways. The golden sphere represents our sun - a cosmic symbol of Helios - as source of energy and life, as well as a symbol of unconditional love. The sun shines on all of us, it does not judge! The sphere is at the same time a terrestric symbol of the human head/brain. Man has evolved from MOTHER EARTH (Gaia) with the help of the energy of the sun.
As mentioned under MY SCULPTURES, all sculptures are reduced to two elements of design:
SPHERE & BAND
However, if a 3rd element of design is added to any of my figures, they become cheerful & witty, respectively profound, like for instance the LADY. In her case, the sharp saw teeth of the saw blade of an old buzz saw emblematise that beauty can also be dangerous. The saw blade is the elegant hat of SOPHIA LOREN in the movie "Pret a` Porter". The curvy legs stand for the drape of an evening gown and swinging legs at the same time.
Many sculptures (except for the GOLFER) have been created by emotion, and not by rational construction. As in the cosmos, there are no pure circles or ellipses. Also, many of them are skewed into a spiral like form.
I am particularly fascinated by metamorphoses in which the human body turns into objects of utility. This process creates symbolism, often combined with ambiguity or equivocality, following the ZEITGEIST / PARADIGMA, for instance the SUN WORSHIPPER (at the same time a bench), the ALFIST (Alfa Romeo car and human body at the same time), AUTOMORPH (car and human body at the same time), AT THE DENTIST (patient and chair at the same time), READING CHAIR (reader and chair at the same time), etc....
As mentioned under MY SCULPTURES, GAIA / MOTHER EARTH is an exception, not only regarding the precious materials that are used for her, but also in a thematic sense: it is time that MOTHER EARTH gets the attention she deserves. There are atlases, maps and globes of the earth, but where are sculptures of her? Has the art market forgotten about earth?
At the same time, the sculpture GAIA is man, born by the earth, for instance the female dancing partner in the TANGO sculpture --- coincidence?
The sun, however, I can not capture in one single sculpture. It can not be captured because it is in all GOLDJOS sculptures (except for GAIA) contained as a golden sphere - the sun is absolute!
My wish is: all GOLDJOS sculptures should bring joy and spread joy, because they also brought me much joy through their creation. My motto is: everyone who gets in touch with GOLDJOS may experience joy, wealth, happiness and love.
All sculptures can be produced multiple times while staying one of a kind since they can only be manufactured indvidually. They always differ slightly, since corten steel is difficult to bend. This is craftsmanship of the highest possible quality and precision, because the original sculptures (scale 1:1) resemble the working models quite exactly.
ART IS GOOD HANDICRAFT - Albrecht Dürer
Each large sculpture comes with a GOLDJOS emblem that is worked into the sculpture during the finishing process. The uniqueness of the LOGO is important to me. Only once I have put the two brass spheres into the machined LOGO, the sculpture is finally approved and gets equipped with the present object number.
