Sculpture "heaven-sent" (2024) (Unique piece), steel
Taking it easy? The German expression "eine ruhige Kugel schieben," which literally translates to "pushing a calm ball," means to take things slowly or to relax. As if on command from above, this saying is cleverly embodied in Jan M. Petersen’s sculpture "heaven-sent," where a Corten steel sphere with a diameter of 130 cm and weighing 100 kg. The sculptor, of course, also has a clear message here: The preservation of creation.

About Jan M. Petersen
The artist and qualified architect Jan M. Petersen, born in 1969 in Bad Vilbel, Germany, humorously questions art history and at the same time approaches it with enthusiasm.
In addition to handy wooden works on which he puts his cheeky and wise slogans, all telling of his passion for art, the artist also delights with his small- and large-format sculptures and coloured steel cuts. Jan M. Petersen lives and works in Brandenburg, Germany.
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.
