This exclusive sculpture combines cutting-edge technology with traditional craftsmanship. The sculpture’s core is a high-precision form made of PLA, a sustainable, bio-based plastic. Through an intricate, multi-day process, the piece is electroplated with a layer of genuine copper. Its distinctive, vibrant depth is achieved through a subsequent chemical patination process: the shades of verdigris and oxidation result from actual chemical reactions, making this sculpture a truly unique, one-of-a-kind piece. The symbiosis of digital design and classic electroforming gives the work an extraordinary tactile quality and visual dynamism as it rests on its base. Finished with high-quality acrylic accents. The sculpture "Die Vestalinnen" (The Vestal Virgins) by Andreas Loeschner-Gornau presents itself as a complex, dynamic, and vertical work of art set against a simple, light-gray to white background. The artwork is centrally positioned and fills most of the frame's vertical space. The image shows a sculpture titled "Recke" (Warrior) by Andreas Loeschner-Gornau, presented from two side-by-side perspectives. Both views depict an upright, stylized human figure with a graceful, almost dancing posture. The figure features an abstract design, characterized by highly simplified forms and limbs that appear partially intertwined. It appears to be cast as a single piece, with the body transitioning via fluid lines into legs that rest upon a broad base. The sculpture’s surface is strikingly designed. It is covered in a pattern reminiscent of tree bark or a cracked, textured finish. The base color appears to be a reddish-orange, interspersed in places with tones of turquoise or aquamarine. In many areas—particularly along the edges, limbs, and certain recesses—the sculpture gleams with an intense gold, lending it a luxurious and vibrant quality. This golden layer accentuates the figure's contours and dynamic form, creating a strong contrast with the other two colors. The texture is uneven, featuring small indentations and raised areas that refract light differently depending on the viewing angle. The view on the left shows the sculpture from the side, with the figure’s gaze directed slightly forward. The left arm is positioned across the chest, while the right arm appears to be extended toward the rear. The legs are slightly spread, forming a stable base. The view on the right presents the sculpture from a slightly different side angle, with the body turned somewhat. From this perspective, the blending of the legs and the way they connect before meeting the base are clearly visible. Here, the left arm is more prominent in the foreground, while the right arm is largely obscured. Both figures are placed on a simple, grey pedestal against a background of a light, softly graduated white tone that showcases the sculpture to best effect without creating distractions. Professional lighting casts subtle shadows, highlighting the sculpture's three-dimensional form and texture. Presenting the two views side by side provides a comprehensive impression of the form and artistic execution of the "Recke."
