Four Square Films
Four Square Fine Arts began working with Last Bus in 2008 to create a series of short interview based artist profiles. Four Square Films focus on artists in their own words and from the second film are supported by insightful footage of studio processes.
The aim of these films is to contribute to a broader understanding of contemporary art practice, whilst stimulating questions about the creative process, nurturing new dialogues between artists, students and art lovers.
We also look forward to including them as a valuable resource within our unfolding educational program. To find out more about this program click here.
About Four Square
Education
In 2009 we set out to develop a range of initiatives that went beyond the traditional exhibiting role of a commercial gallery. Supported and encouraged by the desire of many of the artists we represent, we believed it was time to share, engage and communicate in new ways with young people and adults. Four Square Films, our ongoing series of short documentaries exploring questions that drive the practice of artists working today, was a first step. However this has quickly grown to include workshops, scheduled artists talks, links with schools, and podcasts, so we've decided, the time is right to host these strands together on a sister site devoted to our educational work.

Robin Horsch
The works of Robin Horsch reflect his deep-rooted connection with nature and landscape. Throughout his artistic career he has incorporated both painting and sculpture in his artistic practice. The dark shadowy figures depicted in some of his 2-D work have found new expression as wooden sculptures.
Branches of oak lying abandoned in the forests in Northern Germany suggest themselves to Horsch as anthropomorphic figures. Carefully carving each unique piece of wood by following the inherent twists and turns of growth the slim upright forms gradually emerge into being. The apparent roughness and violence of the chainsaw used as the tool to cut the initial abstract shape is seemingly at odds with the delicate and ephemeral nature of the figures created. These are not human representations but are more reminiscent of the forms present in primeaval/ancient cultures of Africa and Polynesia.
In our increasingly urbanised world these sculptures made from found pieces of wood demonstrate in their creation and in their material both a fragility and strength reminding the viewer of the inextricable and delicate balance between nature and our civilisation.
