Detailed description
3D Wall sculpture "Passion" (2026)
Elegance in metal: In Oliver Franneck's sculpture "Passion", numerous small metal elements merge to form a graceful female torso. For his works, the Munich sculptor initially outlines the contours freehand, cuts them out of metal with a laser and assembles the individual parts into the sculpture. This creates an intriguing dialogue between the shapes of the elements and the female nude. The transparency of the object allows for a fascinating interplay of light and shadow. With the fragmented depiction of the body, Franneck wants to create space for the individual fantasies of the viewer.

About Oliver Franneck
Nude sculptures with elegance and transparency: German sculptor Oliver Franneck places the forms of the female body at the centre of his works. What makes his work unique is that he assembles the surface structures of his sculptures from many other small objects, such as stars or butterflies. The resulting transparent design allows for a fascinating interplay of light and shadow.
In the artistic process, Franneck first sketches the silhouettes of the fragments by hand. He then uses these templates to cut the contours with a laser from metal. Finally, he assembles the individual parts in the shape of the female nude. In this last step, Franneck works entirely intuitively, turning each sculpture into a unique piece with a unique structure.
Born in 1967, Oliver Franneck studied media design in Munich, Germany. Prior to this, he trained as a metalworker. He combines both skills in his art. This symbiosis results in innovative works with perfect craftsmanship.

Term for an art object (sculpture, installation) that, according to the artist’s intention, is produced in multiple copies within a limited and numbered edition.
Multiples enable the "democratization" of art by making the work accessible and affordable for a wider audience.
A plastic work of sculptural art made of wood, stone, ivory, bronze or other metals.
While sculptures made of wood, ivory, or stone are carved directly from the material block, 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.
