PRIMITIVLING

Shelf for Galerie PHILIA

Within the Black Marble Series, the modular triangle shelf translates structural geometry into a sculptural framework, resembling a large, hand‑knitted triangle articulated in space. Its stepped shelving ascends in a rhythm reminiscent of a staircase, offering both visual cadence and functional surface.
The individual compartments can be configured freely, allowing the composition to adapt to varying spatial and programmatic needs. Though light in appearance, the piece asserts its presence through proportion, material logic, and the disciplined articulation of its elements. Here, utility and sculptural form coexist, turning storage into an environment of rhythm, balance, and contemplative engagement.

Exclusive for Galerie PHILIA
In the Black Marble Series, comprised of five distinct pieces—or positions, in the language of contemporary sculpture— Justus Knut Schomann explores the intersection of primal form and sculptural restraint. Conceived for Gallery PHILIA and produced in Northern Italy, each object is issued in a limited edition, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
At the core of the series lies an engagement with essential typologies—archetypal shapes stripped to their barest expression. The works are at once graphic and monolithic: dark, weighty presences that command space without excess. Their visual language recalls something ancient, even proto-architectural, evoking the interior of a stone shelter or the protective void of a cave.
Despite their apparent austerity, these pieces cultivate a subtle emotional resonance. They radiate a sense of refuge and stillness, offering a quiet resistance to the speed and volatility of the contemporary. And yet, there is tension too: a latent force embedded in their mass, a held breath beneath the surface. With Black Marble Series, Justus Knut Schomann does not simply sculpt objects, but proposes environments—zones of psychological and physical gravity. It is this oscillation between comfort and severity, between form and feeling, that defines the series and marks it as a significant contribution to the discourse on contemporary material poetics.
