About this artwork
human nails IX consists of many individual wire pins that have been connected to each other by targeted welding points, thus combining to form an abstracted, human figure.
For the first time, the artist cast the base using brushed larch wood formwork in fiber-reinforced and frost-resistant concrete. This makes this work ideal for outdoor use.
The upper part of the sculpture was worked with different tools and
Hellweger treated the surface with… hydrochloric acid and exposed it to the weather for a month to obtain an even layer of oxidation.
The color of the sculpture may change when placed outdoors.
Dimensions of sculpture without concrete base: 89 x 16.5 x 5.5 cm
Dimensions Corten steel plate: 30 x 30 x 1 cm
Total height: 190.5 cm
Total weight: 40 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.
