Multifaceted Globes

Karl Heinz Stock’s connection with the world of art has grown organically over time. Even while as he was starting his career in corporate banking, his creative outlet was sculptural art. His development in this world included many changes, re-alignments and overall shifts of focus. Arguably the most profound realization in this development was in identifying his strongest gift. That being as the creator of the canvas, rather than the one who fills that canvas.

With his previous group-projects, Dance of the Bears and Passion, he managed to bring together many different artists, thereby achieving a result that was far more than the sum of its parts. By bringing together such a wide range of creative talent, he was able to visually explain to the audience how different, yet how similar, our viewpoints all are.

And now, with his latest project, the Multifaceted Globes, he takes on this challenge again, of presenting different interpretations, all in one installation. In fact, the Multifaceted Globes take this concept one step further, because of how they are arranged. The globes are purposefully arranged as one installation, so they cannot and should not be interpreted individually. Each globe is one part of the puzzle, similarly to how each one of us is one piece to the puzzle that is humanity.

Imagine a space where the planet Earth could be seen from a few meters away.

What if, as well as being able to see it, we could modify it?

Perhaps we could paint it a brighter color, or draw a familiar face, an animal, a plant, or perhaps a mixture of all of these? Nothing is impossible when it comes to imagination. In the exhibition “Multifaceted Globes”, we can see 15 different painted globes that transport us to the most hidden places on earth.
