Wolfgang Laib, a renowned artist born in Germany in 1950, stands as one of the most significant figures in contemporary art. His artistic journey is marked by a profound connection with nature and a steadfast belief in simplicity. Since the 1970s, Eastern philosophies from India have profoundly influenced his life and artistic practice. Today, Laib remains dedicated to focusing on a select few cyclical groups of work.
Since his early travels to India, Laib has been captivated by the notion of viewing humans as integral components of a greater whole. This philosophy permeates his art, as he seeks to uncover the universal, the eternal, and works with natural materials such as pollen, rice, milk, or beeswax. At the Bündner Kunstmuseum, he presents an expansive, room-sized installation composed of thousands of tiny rice mountains. Rice, a vital foodstuff, symbolizes vitality and holds a fundamental significance for our earthly existence. The process of creating this remarkable work of art is documented in the book, which reveals the spiritual dimension of art and provides insights into the sources of Laib's poetics.
Through this book, Laib invites us to explore the profound connection between art and spirituality, unveiling the mysteries that lie within the creative process. He guides us on a journey to the origins of his poetics, offering a deeper understanding of his artistic vision. Wolfgang Laib's work continues to resonate with audiences worldwide, reminding us of the power of art to transcend boundaries and inspire us to connect with the natural world.
