"Lancelot sculpture" PLA (bio-based plastic),electroplated with copper, patinated/ Click here to buy
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 "Lancelot" by Andreas Loeschner-Gornau is a vertical, abstract depiction reminiscent of several intertwined, stylized human figures. It stands centrally against a simple background that lightens as it rises—transitioning from a light gray base to pure white—thereby making the sculpture stand out distinctly.
The coloring is distinctive, evoking an antique or organic feel. The sculpture is primarily finished in a metallic gold tone, overlaid and interspersed with a bold patina featuring various shades of turquoise, blue-green, and dark blue. The gold shimmers through the turquoise layers, appearing most prominently on the raised edges, curves, and upper sections, where it catches the light and creates warm accents. Shades of green and blue dominate the recesses and shadowed areas—reminiscent of oxidized copper or bronze—adding depth and character to the piece.
The sculpture’s surface is heavily textured throughout. It appears rough, granular, and irregular, much like naturally weathered rock or a raw casting mold. This texture is visible across both the gold and blue-green areas, reinforcing the impression of an organic, handcrafted object. In some places, finer horizontal layers or grooves are discernible, lending an extra dimension to the surface.
The composition is dynamic and fluid, consisting of several intertwined and interconnected elements that rise upward from a broad, organically shaped base. Three main forms can be identified; they support and interlock with one another, creating a complex silhouette. The forms are soft and rounded, lacking sharp edges, which conveys a sense of movement and gentle interaction. Several voids and openings emerge between the twisting elements, including a distinctive, teardrop-shaped cutout in the upper central section that lends the sculpture a sense of lightness and transparency.
The lighting originates primarily from the front left, creating strong highlights on the golden sections while casting soft shadows onto the opposing sides and beneath the interlocking forms. This emphasizes the sculpture's three-dimensionality and rich texture, giving it a lifelike quality. The sculpture rests on a gently reflective, light-gray surface that catches a subtle reflection of the sculpture's colors.
