About this artwork
It is a small sculpture that is inspired by the traditional "Pieta theme". A lifeless figure is dealt with thematically, with a dramatic exertion and attention from another figure, which tries to lift the motionless with all his might, straight from the ground. Despite this content-related borrowing from the religious motif of the Pieta, this sculpture intends an unconventional and expressive structure, in that the individual body parts protrude…
expressively into the room.

« 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.
