Stella Hamberg

The sculptress Stella Hamberg (b. 1975) usually opts for the classical material bronze which has traditionally combined durability with metamorphosis, if only in the amalgamation of different metals achieved through melting. Essential to the figures she creates are their existence in time and ability to transform, as well as eternity in the moment. Seeking to express the spiritual in the physical forms - from the overall pose down to the subtleties of sculptural detail and the surface shimmer - has been a concern of sculptors ever since antiquity. The reinterpretation of this grand tradition is one aspect of the topicality of her works. Exhibition: Galerie EIGEN+ART, Berlin, Germany (09.11.-20.12.2017).
