Escape Velocity: Paradoxical Sculptures by Fabian Oefner

Swiss artist Fabian Oefner has once again captured our attention with “Escape Velocity”, his latest series of impossible sculptures that push boundaries and challenge our perception of reality.

Using rudimentary tools such as band saws and sanding blocks, Fabian sliced a range of common objects such as a sneaker, an old computer, a saxophone, and even a boxing glove to create sculptural pieces that give the impression that these items are pushing through or blending into solid walls. In his own words:

“The methods of my art are like photoshop for the real world. I am reversing the process, translating digital tools like slicing or clipping into analog techniques of work.”

“In an environment dominated by manipulated images and artificially created content, I really enjoy creating these objects, that have a physical presence and are profoundly real, yet seem to come from a digital realm.”

“Escape Velocity” is yet another example of Fabian’s incredible ability to challenge our notions of what is real. His unique approach to art has once again produced something truly remarkable that will leave viewers wondering what else is possible.
