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 "Zelus" by sculptor Andreas Loeschner-Gornau is an abstract, dynamic figurative work positioned vertically in the center against a simple white background. It rests on a slightly reflective, light-gray surface that casts a soft shadow. The sculpture’s form is organic and fluid, characterized by elegant, intertwining lines reminiscent of a human figure in motion—perhaps dancing or stretching. It is wider at the base and tapers gently upwards, creating a slender, athletic silhouette. The entire structure is defined by strong, sweeping curves that convey a sense of dynamism and continuous movement. A striking feature is an oval, open aperture in the upper third of the sculpture, which can be interpreted as an abstracted head or upper torso. This opening contributes to the form's lightness and openness. Additional suggested voids or leg openings appear in the lower-to-middle section, implying a striding motion or a bending posture. These negative spaces enhance the sculpture's complexity and energetic expression. The coloring is striking and multi-layered. The sculpture is predominantly a pale mint green or turquoise, interwoven and overlaid with rich, metallic gold tones. The colors are not evenly distributed but appear in a marbled or veined pattern; in many places, the gold breaks through the green or rests atop it, resembling a patina or an inner substance emerging to the surface. This creates a vibrant, shimmering, and multi-layered visual texture. The sculpture’s surface has a distinct, rough texture. Numerous small, raised nodules or blisters are distributed across the entire surface, lending the sculpture a tactile quality and an almost organic, naturally evolved character. This texture is particularly visible in the gold sections, reinforcing the impression of materiality and age, even though the form itself is strikingly modern and fluid. The lighting is diffuse and even, beautifully highlighting the sculpture's contours, curves, and intricate texture without creating harsh shadows. Overall, through its fluid form, energetic coloring, and distinctive texture, the sculpture "Zelus" embodies a powerful, ethereal presence that impressively conveys themes of eager striving, zeal, ambition, and the dynamic drive of youth. The gold can be interpreted as a symbol of the value, aspirations, and brilliance of youth, while the green represents growth, vitality, and freshness.
