Detailed description
Sculpture "Devotion", artificial marble version
Jürgen Götze's interpretation of love exclusively at ars mundi.
Before Götze decided to work as a freelance artist in 1999, he had already lent his skills to the service of one of Germany's leading porcelain manufactories for 15 years. The perfection in every stroke of the spatula, the patient shaping fine details and an unerring eye for proportions - those qualities characterise his work even for his freelance work.
Götze focuses on the figurative tradition, especially the depiction of the human body. His style, however, is also trained on the works of 20th-century modernism. The lovers facing each other in intimate tenderness are therefore recognisable as modern figures at first glance. With great devotion, he succeeded in creating a work of great emotional density.

About Jürgen Götze
Born in 1964, porcelain modeller and "Sculpteur".
The sculptor Jürgen Götze, born in Coburg, Germany, in 1964, prefers to refer to himself with the French word "sculpteur" rather than a sculptor. For 15 years he was a modeller at one of Germany's leading porcelain manufactories. In addition, he created numerous works based on his designs, inspired by his studies of Expressionism and Art Nouveau.
Since 1999 Götze has been working as a freelance artist in his workshop in Moggenbrunn. In April 2006, Bavarian Television reported from the artist's studio as part of the series "Faszination Kunst" (eng.: "Fascination Art"). Jürgen Götze exhibits his works at national and international exhibitions, including at ART Innsbruck in 2013.
The artist's special devotion is to figurative sculpture. His works, inspired by the examination of natural forms, are characterised by an emphasis on expansive forms in a clear language of lines.
The female nude, which the artist portrays in the tension area between abstraction and eroticism, is a "supreme discipline" for sculptors. There are numerous precursors from antiquity to the present. To work on the theme using your style is a great challenge. Jürgen Götze accepts the challenge: on the one hand, he faces up to the long tradition, but on the other hand, he orients himself to forms of expression of modernity that have shaped him as an artist. The result is an expressive depiction of the modern, self-confident woman.

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.
