Big Bang is the culmination of a structural form that has evolved over many years. At its core is a central hub from which shafts radiate outward, a form that echoes both the delicate structure of a dandelion and the primordial explosion of the Big Bang itself - matter and energy dispersing endlessly from a single point of origin. This recurring form has been revisited and reimagined over time in Andre’s art practice- realised in a range of materials and scales, from intimate, hand-held works to monumental sculptural statements.
Judge's Comments MIFGS 2026
Big Bang is a striking and highly resolved sculptural form that balances delicacy with force. Radiating outward from a central hub, it evokes both the fragile structure of a dandelion and the expansive energy of cosmic creation. The work demonstrates strong formal control and material confidence, and its fusion of natural reference with larger universal ideas gives it a bold and memorable presence.
