About this artwork
For this work of art, the artist first made a model from plasticine in order to transfer the complex movement of the sculpture into the wood.
The cubes were all individually sawn from solid wood and glued together in a complex process.
The combination of larch and linden tree results in a chessboard-like pattern on the surface.
Similar to the "human flow" series, the artist tries to approach… the human form by combining simple, geometric shapes and then working on the wood.
The surface of the sculpture is finely sanded and left natural.
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.
