Detailed description

Sculpture "Barn Owl" (2022), version bronze grey patinated

Christoph Fischer groups his works into different series. There is, for example, his series of boats and fish, grouped under the title "Depth", then there are mythological works and, for some years now, almost archaic-looking, shield-armoured guardian figures. Fischer has always remained faithful to animal sculpture and has achieved great mastery in it.

His barn owl, depicted in perfect proportions and only slightly abstracted, looks at the viewer with piercing eyes and seems to say with the wisdom of all owl birds: "You think you know. But I am wise."

Fine bronze sculpture, cast using the Lost-Wax-Process, chiselled by hand and patinated grey. Limited edition of 99 copies, numbered, monogrammed and hallmarked with the foundry and ars mundi stamp. With numbered certificate of authenticity and limitation. Size approx. 32 x 20 x 17 cm (h/w/d). Weight approx. 8.8 kg. ars mundi Exclusive Edition.

Portrait of the artist Christoph Fischer

About Christoph Fischer

The sculptor Christoph Fischer was born in 1956 in Mayen in the Eifel region, where he received his first sculptural inspiration and lessons. Academically, his first path led him - geographically obvious - to Cologne, where he studied at the Fachschule für Kunst und Design under Karl Burggraf. Soon, however, he went to Bremen. Here, he was a student of Bernd Altenstein from 1982 to 1992 - and it was more than just a change of location.

Maritime themes became the artist's trademark, and his works were frequently represented in public spaces. The young sculptor, who had already been interested in depicting animals, developed a passion for boats and fish. The boat - a metaphor of transition - and the animal continue to be important to Fischer, who now lives and works in Worpswede, Germany.
