About this artwork
Each individual cube was brushed by hand on all six sides so that the lively grain of the local larch wood comes into its own.
Wooden dowels were used as the connecting element, which, however,
are obviously not visible.
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 a base and… a granite stone (40 x 30 x 3 cm) forms the base.
The surface of the sculpture is brushed and natural.
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. »
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.
