About this artwork
human nails WALL II consists of many individual wire nails that have been connected to each other by targeted welding points, thus combining to form an abstract, human shape.
For the presentation of his "human nails," the artist is using, for the first time, a high-quality frame made of solid, finely sanded, and natural maple wood. The contrast between the dark wire nails and the light wood creates a striking visual effect.
The frame has no backing… plate.
The upper part of the sculpture was worked with different tools and the entire surface was sealed with matte clear varnish to prevent the steel from oxidizing.
Sculpture dimensions: 22 x 3.6 x 1.8 cm
Frame dimensions: 33 x 33 x 7.9 cm
Weight: 1.7 kg
All of Manfred Hellweger's sculptures 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.
