Nando Kallweit
Mary - Small Figurative Abstract Bronze Sculpture for Shelf or Table

2023

About the Item

Nando Kallweit’s Mary is a contemporary bronze sculpture that captures the essence of relaxation and effortless elegance. The elongated, minimalist form of the reclining figure exudes a sense of tranquility, making it a striking addition to modern, abstract, and minimalist art collections. The textured bronze finish enhances its organic aesthetic, while the elongated limbs and faceless abstraction invite personal interpretation. Ideal for collectors drawn to figurative sculptures with a timeless, serene quality, Mary is a statement piece that embodies both strength and repose. German sculptor Nando Kallweit produces figurative bronze sculptures and reliefs with aquiline and a graceful modern appeal. Kallweit is inspired by seemingly disparate cultures; the strength of ancient Egyptian sculptures, the dynamic forms of the modern Cubist movement, and an observation of our contemporary and future existence. Combined with a considerate approach, Kallweit renders archaic materials, such as blackened oak and bronze, with a palpable sensitivity. These forms are varied tirelessly in his creations. This unique 2-inch high by 8-inch wide and 4-inch deep figurative bronze sculpture is named Mary and is number 11 in a series of 25. Each of Nando's figures is named according to their distinct personalities as visualized by the artist. This work is created using the lost wax method – with the ceramic mold shattered to reveal the bronze figure. Such process renders each artwork unique. This sculpture can be placed on any flat surface. Kallweit's unique sculptures can also be grouped to create a harmonious display. Kallweit reduces the figures to simple gestures and movements, creating sculptures with a wonderful interplay between art and design. Convenient local Los Angeles area shipping. Affordable Continental U.S. and worldwide shipping also available. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included. Close observation of each piece leads to the discovery of unexpected details that convey emotional robustness. Kallweit moves continuously while creating his sculptures. He works with an intensity and energy that he must balance with a sensitive and considerate approach. Kallweit’s work is permeated by a longing for the unknown, for the elusive, the divine, and the spiritual. The visual impact of his metal sculptures leaves a deep impression on the viewer. After completing engineering school in Germany, Kallweit began a successful career as a freelance sculptor. He currently lives in Essen, Germany. His work has since become coveted for public installations and private collections alike internationally.
