About Patrick Preller
Patrick Preller lives and works in Fürth, Germany, as a freelance artist. His works focus on friendly monsters and other objects made of metal.
The figures he designs are called monsters, but they have nothing frightening about them. Instead, they are meant to bring a smile to the viewer's face with their colourful and unexpected appearance. What they all have in common is a pleasant lightness, transparency and cheerfulness – this is how metal comes to life! Preller's objects "haunt" every area of life so naturally, that when we look at them, we hardly think that they are the result of an elaborate fusion of artistic ideas and hard work.

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.
