Kubach und Kropp

Livia Kubach 1966 born in Bad Münster am Stein. daughter of the artist couple Kubach-Wilmsen. 1987 - 1994 studied sculpture at the Academy of Art in Düsseldorf with Tony Cragg and Günther Uecker. Master student of Günther Uecker. Michael Kropp 1960 born in Cologne. 1986 - 1991 studied social education at the University of Applied Sciences Cologne (diploma), musician (guitar, harmonica, drums, percussion), self-taught as a visual artist. The artist couple lives and works in Bad Kreuznach since 1992. For Kubach and Kropp, stone is more than just a material, it is a living medium millions of years old, which the artists treat with appropriate respect and empathy and transform into independent works of art which are often movable and go to the limits of what is possible. What is unique is that they can be "played". They sound when touched or moved and make "stone music“.

"Touching the stone is easy - touching the heart is art."
