BOSOM BUDDY
The recurring theme for the sculptures by Søren West is the research of balance, combined with the desire to give the weighty stone dynamics and lightness. The artist works with the contrast between the organic broken angles of the stones and the shapes that he can add to the sculptures himself. The sculpture “Bosom Buddy” was exhibited at NordArt 2000 and purchased by the city of Büdelsdorf. Since then the sculpture has had a permanent location in front of the town hall.
