Seaforms
The Seaforms series embodies decades of Behrens’ personal sensory experiences above and below water. “I’ve always enjoyed nature, the sea, the underwater world – this made me start creating the Seaform series,” he says, “We are coming from nature and we will go to nature again. I want to stay aware of this moving cycle.” The resulting works appear almost natural in nature, grown in the wild and then ossified, frozen in time. The diverse color range and interior movement varies as if created organically by the environment. The natural and random appearance of the works is created by the exterior form and the specific details: The fine modeling of the subareas and edges, the interplay of matt and polished surfaces as well as the inner cell-like structures.
