Eselchen – The Donkeys

“Donkeys are a necessity for me. My semi-figurative sculptures are a way of paying tribute to them and giving them the status they deserve. They are a counterpoint to my abstract work of Primary Tensions, (Ge)Dichte (Poetry and Density in German) in stone, and my Julessteins in bronze. I ideally show the stones and the donkeys together, because the donkeys are their protectors, the lookout for the public ready to touch them. The donkeys are the defenders and remain attentive to this abstraction which is new and still little known. They bring a balance, something to which one can find one’s bearings, to this light, discreet but sure presence”. Jules Andrieu
