About this artwork
"human cubes 143" consists of over 143 wooden cubes.
Every single cube has been hand-ground on all six sides, including the edges.
The cubes were then connected with glue and completely sealed with epoxy resin and clear varnish for additional stability. This results in a robust, shiny surface and gives the larch wood a warm, red-brown colour.
Similar to the "human flow" series, the artist tries to approach the human form with simple, geometric… shapes.
An old, disused larch beam from a barn serves as the base. This was first brushed, colored with white casein paint and then sanded.
The base of this work of art is a granite stone (19.3 x 19.3 x 3 cm)
For transport, the sculpture can be easily separated from the larch beam using a plug-in system and reassembled.
All sculptures by Manfred Hellweger are unique.

« 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.
