Canadian-born sculptor Andreas von Zadora-Gerlof is recognized as the world's leading gem artist and is known for his innovative and complex gem sculptures, jewelry and watch creations. For more than 40 years, von Zadora-Gerlof has been called the "Fabergé of America", fascinating the world with its extremely realistic gemstone forms and dazzling custom jewelry for selected customers. In recent years, von Zadora-Gerlof (von Zadora-Gerlof) has expanded his work to include large-scale sculptures, and his collection is inspired by another great artist, MC Escher. Escher is known for his mysterious and puzzling paintings and lithographs of the 1930s. He created works focused on mathematics, presenting two-dimensional optical illusions and puzzles. Under the exclusive license of Escher Design, von Zadora-Gerlof (von Zadora-Gerlof) transformed these impossible depictions into 3D forms in the 14-month period from 2014-15. Shockingly turn them into reality. The Cubic Space Division is six and a half feet tall and five feet wide. In this huge space, von Zadora-Gerlof has given an extraordinary level of detail. The 3-dimensional space is divided by the cubic lattice of uniform cubes, connected by rectangular strips in a pattern over and over again, and people imagine infinite repetition. Escher's creation in the Cubic Space Division evokes the sense of infinity in a limited space, and his mathematical methods make it visually credible. Von Zadora-Gerlof gave the same level of mathematical precision in a large-scale version of his work. This huge steel sculpture has been intricately assembled and coated with dark powder to suggest the drama of the original lithograph. The result is impressive depth and ingenious work, a proper tribute to Escher's original design. In the middle of the 20th century, Escher created a series of etchings exploring spherical geometry, trying to draw attention to the negative space of 3-dimensional objects. His work Concentric Rinds developed from this exploration, and von Zadora-Gerlof's work of the same name is also based on this exploration. Escher’s complex sphere is composed of four spheres, each of which is composed of nine circles, divided into 48 triangles of similar shapes, emphasizing the huge, mysterious dark space in which his creation is located. Von Zadora-Gerlof brings all the mathematical precision designed by Escher's genius into his large-scale works. His four aluminum balls are nestled together from small to large, creating a ripple effect when the work moves on its axis. It is powered by an electric mechanism hidden in the base, subtly added by von Zadora-Gerlof to take full advantage of the incredible visual effects of Escher's original design. This huge work is more than six feet in diameter, and its dynamic state is really fascinating. The hot aluminum ball contrasts sharply with the dark black steel of the Cubic Space Division and the brightly colored polymer of the continuous work called Gravity. Gravity is probably the most attractive of von Zadora-Gerlof's Escher sculptures. Escher originally made this work (also known as "Gravity") as a black and white lithograph, and later painted it with watercolor hand-painted. Escher's "Gravity" is part of a series of important works created by the artist in the mid-20th century, which explore asteroids and stars in the world of science fiction. The point of gravity is that multiple sources of gravity cannot work together on a single object. In his complex geometry, Escher placed twelve turtles without shells, and they used stars as an ordinary shell. Each turtle is represented by six pairs of colors—red, orange, yellow, purple, green, and blue—each turtle is directly opposite its counterpart. Although Escher's creation is physically impossible, like all his works, he presents it in a visually credible and logical way. The same mathematical precision also applies to the version of von Zadora-Gerlof's work. The sculpture is accurately presented in a large scale, showing Escher's creative genius through precisely cut stainless steel and 3D printed polymer. At first glance, this work seems to be a bunch of tortoise heads and limbs nonsense, but a closer inspection will reveal the inherent symmetry and harmony of this ingenious creation. From a distance, the limbs of the water turtle are almost like human beings, and the real form and nature of the characters must be determined by close contact with the work. Von Zadora-Gerlof's extraordinary ability to transform Escher's hallucinations into real life experiences is very exciting.
