Beautiful sculpture by Guido Geelen, artist of the famous Tilburg School.
In very good condition.
Handwiel is about the wheel as an invention. It fits within the carefully constructed oeuvre of Guido Geelen: about casting, the property of material, about true size The medal consists largely of the hand wheel of a fire hose. The wheel is constructed from five thin segments of metal and five wide segments of nothing. The outer edge meanders from spoke to spoke and makes the object graceful. An axle with two different thicknesses runs from the centre of the hand wheel. The wheel can stand on the thick axle, the wheel can spin around the thin axle. The medal lies diagonally, on one of its axles and on its side. On the outside of the medal are dancing punched letters as edge inscription: PK 06-03-08 GUIDO GEELEN 43:450 HANDWIEL. A riddle? No. 'PK' and 'Guido Geelen' and 'handwiel' are known. What remains is a date that has already passed and a number that looks like a time indication but with more than 60 seconds in a minute. Geelen never works in editions and does not sign his work. He makes a double exception for the VPK. The text is stamped by hand per medal, per letter. The date on the medal documents that action. In an edition of 450 copies, different dates will be included, as well as a numbering to mark each medal in the series. The design is about the wheel as an invention, looks industrial and is also a personal work that is about Guido Geelen. It fits within his carefully constructed oeuvre about casting, about the properties of material, about true size: one on one. (source VVPK)
