Sculpture series Sophia

2002 · Sculpture & Installation

‘Weidenbaum’s work goes back to a number of archetypes: the tree, the human being, animals, life and death, energy and branching. Material and patina play an important role in his sculptures, paintings and drawings. Weidenbaum seems to see art as a zone in which contact with a reality above or below the visible world can be sought or restored, through a mystical experience of material and form.’
