About this artwork
The sculpture "burnout" was made from local oak logs.
Oak has a very light-colored sapwood, which is the outer layer of wood of a tree, which is often referred to as inferior. The dark heartwood, on the other hand, is one of the most valuable European woods.
The artist allowed this natural light and dark effect to flow into his work by removing more and more of the valuable heartwood and in the end only the shell of the light-colored sapwood remains.… In addition, this shell was burned out on the inside.
The light wood was additionally painted white and the heartwood was oiled.
Here the artist refers to our fast-moving and hectic everyday life, which overwhelms many of us and often leads to so-called burnout.
The base is made of a 3-layer board and painted with bronze effect colors.
Base dimensions: 48.5 x 48.5 x 4 cm
Total weight: 27.3 kg

« I have always been fascinated by abstracting the human body in order to depict it in a simple and elegant form. »
Manfred Hellweger is an Austrian sculptor whose works are already represented by collectors worldwide.
He is particularly known for his minimalist approach, in which he reduces forms to their essential elements.
Hellweger's work embodies the idea that nothing is permanent; everything evolves and changes. Each of his sculptures reflects a deep engagement with the materials and themes he explores.
Despite their simplicity, his works are deeply expressive and, by reducing them to the essentials, offer a metaphor for mindfulness and contentment.
