Caspar Henselmann
is a Swiss-born artist living and working in New York and France. Of his work, he says:
"Most of my work has a scientific connection. The large architectural installations reflect an analogy to the structural order found in nature.
The thinking process is usually multilayered and although the scientific concern may be in the foregound, aesthetic, material and theoretical considerations modify and alter the final configuration.
Thus the work (link to more of Mr. Henselmann's work) is concerned with the juxtaposition of knowledge and information relayed by my senses: I know the Earth is round, but I still see only a flat surface.
These thoughts form the components of my vocabulary in the conception of my work. Art is a reflection of our thoughts, and since most ideas are complex, so is art."
