Detailed description
Sculpture cultfish "Joe Purple", cast stone
It all began with a sleepless night: Cane Cooper was looking for a new motif. And because his zodiac sign is a Pisces, it suddenly hit him: his success lies in the fish. Since then, Cane Cooper has painted over 1,000 original paintings with his cheeky, colourful Pop Art fish. Within a very short time, these paintings have helped the artist to achieve cult status. Exclusively at ars mundi, the Cane Cooper Cultfishes are available as hand-painted sculptures!
Cast by hand in stone. Limited edition 299 copies, numbered and signed. Size 10.5 x 10.5 x 7 cm (w/h/d).

Lustiger Fisch.

Collective term for all casting processes that ars mundi carries out with the help of specialised art foundries.
Stone casting
Similar to artificial marble, with the difference that the substitute stone in powder form is used instead of marble powder.
Bonded Bronze (Cold-Cast-Bronze)
Bronze powder is polymer-bonded. Special polishing and patination techniques give the surface of the casting an appearance similar to the bronze.
Imitation Wood
In order to guarantee absolute fidelity to the original, an artificially manufactured imitation wood is used as a base material that features typical wood characteristics: density, workability, colour and surface structure.
Ceramic Mould Casting
Ceramic mould casting usually requires the use of casting clay, which is then fired and optionally glazed. Instead of the usual rubber moulds, plaster moulds are often used in ceramic casting and porcelain production.
Cast Bronze (Lost-Wax Casting)
For the cast bronze, the thousand-year-old lost-wax technique is used. It's the best, but also the most complex method of producing sculptures.
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.
