About this artwork
The sculpture shows the portrait of a ski jumper. After the portrait was modeled in clay in the presence of the sitter and cast in plaster, it was completely "over-modeled" with pasty oil paint. The application of paint, sometimes several centimeters thick, is to be understood as an extended sculptural process. The portrait sculpture based on a model was created in 2013. The color was revised five years later.

« 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.
