Frank Leske, born in 1965, is a German sculptor whose powerful artistic language explores the relationship between mass and space, form and void. Initially trained as a draftsman and later as a stonemason, Leske worked for years with granite and marble before turning to wood as his primary medium. In massive oak trunks, he finds not just raw material but a primal unity, which he transforms through deep, geometric incisions. His work draws from the aesthetics of Cubism, yet expands it into a contemporary dialogue where emptiness holds equal value to solidity—integrating space, light, and shadow as fundamental elements of the sculpture.
