Nando Kallweit
Frannie by Nando Kallweit. A figurative bronze sculpture of a nude woman

2022

About the Item

Neile is an elegant figurative bronze sculpture of a female nude by Nando Kallweit. Modelled on modern youthful postures but with a nod to the importance of heritage through the stylised Egyptian-influenced head. Nando produces each piece using the lost wax process. He makes a wax model, lowers it into wet ceramic, allows the ceramic to dry, bakes the ceramic so that the wax melts and the ceramic is bone dry then pours his molten bronze into the cavity. Further pieces use a silicon mould of the original wax figure to repeat the process. Edition of 25. Nando also hammers his mark into the base. Frannie is an elegant figurative bronze sculpture by Nando Kallweit.  Standing erect she holds a towel around her waist. Frannie was made using a lost wax, or Cire Perdue, bronze casting technique.  Nando shapes a wax model that is then submerged in ceramic. The ceramic is then placed in a furnace so that the wax melts to leave a cavity. Molten bronze is then poured into the cavity. Once cooled and hardened the ceramic is broken to retrieve the sculpture.  To create the rest of the edition Nando makes a silicon mould of the first piece allowing the wax model to be recreated. Each piece is part of an edition of 25. The edition number is engraved into the base. Nando also hammers his mark into the bronze. This artwork is an exquisite abstract sculpture that masterfully captures the essence of elegance and poise of the female firgure. The figure is draped in a towel, which she holds open to create a sense of presence and refined dignity. The bronze is minimalist yet evocative, with subtle, elongated lines to emphasize the height and slenderness of the figure. The faceless head and the smooth contours of the body further abstract the subject, allowing viewers to focus on the fundamental elements of shape and posture. The garment, draped in a manner reminiscent of classical statuary, introduces texture and movement, breaking the otherwise sleek silhouette. The bronze material enhances the sculpture’s timeless appeal, with its patinated finish adding depth and a nuanced play of light and shadow. This piece is a testament to the artist’s skill in blending abstraction with figurative art, creating a work that is both modern and timeless. It speaks to themes of strength, grace, and the quiet power of presence, making it a captivating centerpiece for any collection.
