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 "The Metamorphosis" by Andreas Loeschner-Gornau presents itself as an abstract, figurative artwork set against a simple, light-colored background. Its overall form is tall and slender, featuring organically flowing contours that evoke intertwined or interacting human figures caught in a state of motion or transformation. The sculpture is composed of several curved and sweeping elements that wrap around one another and connect at various points, creating a interplay of open spaces and enclosed volumes. The artwork’s surface is richly textured and displays a fascinating patina. A golden base layer shimmers through, particularly on the raised areas where light creates highlights. Overlying this gold is a distinct layer of pale turquoise or verdigris green; applied unevenly, it conveys the impression of a weathered, oxidized finish. Deep red or rust-brown hues appear between these layers—often within the fine cracks and crevices of the texture. This craquelé effect—where the paint layers break open to reveal the colors beneath—lends the sculpture remarkable depth and an air of antiquity. Additionally, small raised dots or nodules are visible across the surface, emphasizing the material's tactile quality and rough texture. The forms are dynamic and expressive, characterized by soft contours and bold curves that radiate tension and energy. Hints of head shapes or torsos can be discerned in the upper section; the form on the left stretches upward before curving back down in an elegant loop. The form on the right appears to rise from the base and intertwine with the left, suggesting an intimate interaction or metamorphosis. The entire composition conveys a sense of constant change or evolution. The sculpture rests on a broader, round-to-oval base that shares the main body's characteristic texture and coloring, blending harmoniously into the overall composition. Frontal lighting creates soft shadows that accentuate the artwork's sculptural form and three-dimensionality. The background is predominantly pure white, isolating the sculpture and showcasing its colors and shapes to best effect. A faint shadow is visible beneath the base on the light-gray surface, grounding the object firmly in the space.
