Detailed description
Sculpture "Pablo" (2019), wood
The artist duo Doppeldenk lives and works in Leipzig. Particularly against the background of the long tradition of woodcut art in Saxony and the Erzgebirge, the sculptures can be read as a reference to the artists' origins.
The cheerful, cheeky figures by the up-and-coming duo Doppeldenk offer a perfect introduction to the collection of contemporary art but also complement any existing collection as a young fresh position.
Wood sculpture, stained and lacquered oak, 2019. Edition: 15 copies, numbered and hand-signed. Height: 48 cm. Width: 40.5 cm. Depth: 27 cm.
About Doppeldenk
For more than ten years, the Leipzig artists Marcel Baer and Andreas Glauch have been working together under the name "Doppeldenk" (German for doublethink). For their paintings, sculptures, prints and light objects, they often extract widely known symbols, pictograms and figures from their respective contexts and present them in new and unusual ways. With a stylised and comic-like mode of representation in contrasting colours, Doppeldenk works out the relevant attributes of their motifs and thus create subtle critical and sometimes humorous statements on mass cultural phenomena.
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.
