Detailed description
Wall sculpture "Umbrellas", steel
The wall sculptures show only the silhouettes of the motifs. The surfaces of the wall objects show no further details of the motif but are covered with abstract, colourful and seemingly random patterns of acrylic paint. The contrast between the defined, figurative silhouette and the surreal sea of colours creates a unique and exciting aesthetic.
The elaborate production process always begins with sketches drawn by hand. Based on these, the outlines of the motif are cut out of the metal with a laser. This blank is primed and then painted with acrylic paint. Finally, the paint is smudged with a leather cloth and the surface is briefly heated with a flame to create small bumps and bubbles. Due to such processing steps, the result is always unpredictable and each object becomes a unique piece with a unique shape and colour structure.
Wall object made of steel. Thirty-four figures, laser-cut and hand-painted, are assembled here to form a total work of art and show an impressive play of form and colour through expressive colouring. Size 118 x 50 x 2 cm (h/w/d). Weight 3 kg.
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.
