Detailed description
Sculpture "ALMA" (2018), kiri wood
Alejandra Ruddoff's sculpture "Alma" from 2018 represents the visualisation of a temporal twitch. "Alma" is a representation of time and an analysis of material changes within time.
The choice of material already reflects this thematic exploration. The artist uses the wood of the cherry tree, which is the fastest-growing tree in the world. In the superimposed structures of the sculpture's plastic relief, the dynamics of the eternal cycle and its currents of power are revealed breathtakingly.
Sculpture made of Kiri wood, 2018. Signed. Height: 130 cm. Width: 130 cm. Depth: 12 cm.
About Alejandra Ruddoff
The Chilean sculptor Alejandra Ruddoff creates sculptural works that convince through an aesthetically abstracted yet sensual visual language.
In her works, she traces the connections between space, time and matter and the laws of motion.
Ruddoff's sculptures have already been presented in the National Museum of Fine Arts in Santiago de Chile as well as in the imperial ancestral temple in the Forbidden City in Beijing.
A plastic work of sculptural art made of wood, stone, ivory, bronze or other metals.
While sculptures from wood, ivory or stone are made directly from the block of material, in bronze casting a working model is prepared at first. Usually, it is made of clay or other easily mouldable materials.
The prime time of sculpture after the Greek and Roman antiquity was the Renaissance. Impressionism gave a new impulse to the sculptural arts. Contemporary artists such as Jorg Immendorf, Andora, and Markus Lupertz also enriched sculptures with outstanding works.
