Detailed description
Sculpture "Little Elephant", cast version, metallic pink
Jagna Weber rediscovers contemporary animal sculptures in the style of Constantin Brancusi, Franz Marc and Ewald Matarée. She abstracts the forms, reduces the lines to the essence of the model and at the same time manages to hold a warming connection to the viewer.
"Little Elephant": Born big yet vulnerable for a long time. There is still plenty of room in the skin in which an elephant is growing up.
Sculpture made of high-quality cast, metallic look, high-gloss finish. Limited edition of 499 copies, numbered, signed and hallmarked with the foundry and ars mundi stamp. With numbered certificate of authenticity and limitation. Size 19.5 x 16 x 22 cm (h/w/d). Weight approx. 4 kg. ars mundi Exclusive Edition. Pink version.
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.

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.
Term for an art object (sculpture, installation), which is produced in multiple copies in a limited and numbered edition according to the artist‘s will.
Artist's multiples have been called the most accessible and affordable art on the market.
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.
