About this artwork
The inspiration for this work was the novel "The Fall of Judas" by Walter Jens. In a fictional story, Franciscan Father B. d fails to enforce the rehabilitation of Judas under church law. According to history, Judas is not a reprehensible traitor, but is eschatologically intended for a painful role. To betray Jesus, whom he loved, was therefore a necessary step towards realizing the history of salvation, because the Son of God, who would have died…
of old age, could hardly have been understood as a savior.
The sculpture "Judas" deals with guilt and prejudice in a wider sense. The larger-than-life figure is cast in concrete and reworked with oil paints.

« 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.
