Oliver Kruse uses his expertise in architecture to design artistic large-scale sculptures, installations and walk-in structures. He begins by sketching out his ideas in 3D software, designing a mold, and then pouring the material (usually concrete) to fill the negative space. What is left is a three-dimensional object that is mathematically sound, perfectly proportioned and an exact life-sized replica of the model that was created on his computer. When the viewer approaches and peers through the small openings, one will notice conglomerates of interconnected spheres that seem to be stuck together. The negative space is open and allows light to enter through a small opening up top where the spheres separate.

Oliver Kruse (born in 1965, Nuremberg) began his art career as a cabinetmaker during a training in Cologne between 1986 and 88.
