About this artwork
The larger-than-life bronze sculpture is based on a real human model. In a dialogue between the artist and the sitter, the decision was made to bend the figure and protect himself. This corresponded to the psychological condition and the life situation of the model, as he described them in conversations with the artist. The drama of life thus becomes a sculptural and plastic theme. Portraits were avoided, however, because, among other things, it…
was an artistic goal to artistically implement general human relationships beyond individual fate.

« For me, the sculpture is the enthusiasm that inanimate material begins to speak out of itself through deformation alone and suddenly belongs to a part of the living world. »
Wolfgang Eckert is a sculptor based in Germany whose works have been exhibited both nationally and in France. Fascinated by the connection between plastic-spatial relationships and the human expression that becomes evident in them, his pieces are an "observation of nature and exploration of individuality". In addition, Eckert's pieces are self-reflective and inspired by his memories. His diverse compositions are created using cement and plaster.
