About Jagna Weber
Jagna Weber, born in Düsseldorf, Germany, in 1962, studied at the Kunsthochschule in Kassel from 1987 to 1993 with the professors Manfred Bluth and Kurt Haug. Her first exhibitions, initially in the Hessian region, followed immediately. Very quickly, however, her works were in demand both nationally and internationally, and as early as 2001, Weber reached the final round of the International Sculpture Biennale in Toyamura, Japan. Since then, her works have been closely followed by art connoisseurs at home and abroad.
Weber is a versatile sculptor who has mastered various areas of sculptural art. Her original animal sculptures, for which she does not abandon the figurative, even slightly abstracting the model, always attract particular interest. In this way, she always captures the "essence" of the animal depicted, even inscribing a "personality" on it in a thoroughly humorous way.
Graphic or sculpture edition that was initiated by ars mundi and is available only at ars mundi or at distribution partners licensed by ars mundi.
Bronze powder is polymer-bonded. Special polishing and patination techniques give the surface of the casting an appearance similar to the bronze.
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.
