He combines the rectangular slate panels with bronze and brass elements to create enchanting landscape impressions.

About Klaus Börner
Born in 1951 in Hildesheim, Germany, the goldsmith and sculptor Klaus Börner is a loner, an individualist, and a solitary artist who does not subscribe to the current and quickly forgotten art trends but instead follows his own way, close to nature.
Börner uses mainly slate for his unmistakable objects. He combines the small rectangular slate panels with materials such as bronze, steel, brass and sapphires. They combine with the fine lines carved into the slate to create enchanting landscape impressions. The compositions consist of a few pictorial elements, such as trees or animals, allowing a lot of room for imagination.
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.
