About this artwork
"Hanza" is the rural term for "hay men" in the Tyrolean Arlberg region. Due to the technical modernization of hay harvesting, however, these are rarely used these days and lead a shadowy existence.
Each “Hanza” has three crossbars, so-called “spreads”, on which the still damp grass is placed to dry.
The individual splinters were simply firmly connected to each other with two… polyester straps and locking clamps.
There is a hanger on the back for easy mounting on the wall (delivery includes wall hooks and dowels).
The soft, wavy surface is particularly effective when light falls from the side.
The front of the work is finely ground and completely 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.
