About Alexander Heil
Alexander Heil, born in 1970 in Frankfurt/Main, Germany, award winner of the Wilfried Koch Foundation, is represented at national and international exhibitions. The artist lives and works in Berlin and the wildest valley of Italian-speaking Switzerland. He draws his inspiration from this area of tension and thus creates his powerful sculptures.
The core themes of his work are movement and transience. With his abstracted figures, he represents the moment of individual points of existence in their essence. His abstract works always contain a pulsating movement within themselves, and at the same time, reflect processes of transience.
The haptics of the material and the optical alienation of the surfaces play an essential role in his works. Thus, bronze appears like wood, and wood seems like metal; the special patination of the wood is the result of a lengthy process that the artist keeps a secret.
A plastic work of sculptural art made of wood, stone, ivory, bronze or other metals.
While sculptures made of wood, ivory, or stone are carved directly from the material block, in bronze casting, a working model is prepared at first. Usually, it is made of clay or other easily mouldable materials.
The prime time of sculpture after the Greek and Roman antiquity was the Renaissance. Impressionism gave a new impulse to the sculptural arts. Contemporary artists such as Jorg Immendorf, Andora, and Markus Lupertz also enriched sculptures with outstanding works.
