Artist: Peter Brandes
The decorated vase was a well-known piece of applied art in antiquity, and Peter Brandes has adopted it and translated it into his own time and with his own modern artistic language.
Peter Brandes often finds inspiration for his works in classical Greek art, and that is also the case with this jar, which stands in Ikast Swimming Center. Due to its impressive size, its original utilitarian purpose has been stripped away, and instead, it has become a modern sculpture that makes one feel small when standing next to it.
