Philipp-Emanuel Eyrich
Philipp-Emanuel Eyrich develops sculptural objects in which organic processes of form interweave with constructive rigor. His vases, crafted primarily from concrete, unfold a striking presence that extends far beyond their vessel-like nature: in their clear, angular appearance they evoke the brutalism of architectural history, while at the same time resisting strict symmetry or rational geometry. Concrete envelops the archaic form of a vase like a prismatic structure, producing edges, fractures, and shifts that evoke both tectonic layering and organic proliferation.
The presentation of the works intensifies this ambivalence: the vases are displayed on wooden transport crates marked with the inscriptions “Fragile” and “Handle with Care.” In doing so, they oscillate between artistic object and functional everyday item, between monument and utilitarian form. It is precisely in this tension that their aesthetic contradiction unfolds: the hard, heavy materiality of concrete stands in radical contrast to the object’s determination as a vase—a vessel for the ephemeral and ever-changing aspects of nature. In this way, Eyrich’s works open up a multilayered field of tension between permanence and transience, protection and vulnerability.
Its raw, utilitarian character amplifies the brutalist quality of the work, making the crate an integral part of the overall artistic concept.

The wooden crate, designed by the artist, functions both as secure transport packaging for the concrete sculpture and as a display pedestal.
