The sculpture titled "Quaternity" by Andreas Loeschner-Gornau is an abstract representation intended to evoke figures from Greek mythology. It consists of four upright elements that taper upward into organically shaped points. The forms are curvilinear and feature openings and connections between the individual parts, lending the sculpture a dynamic and interconnected appearance. The surface of the sculpture is rendered in various shades of red, which are interspersed in places by a turquoise patina. This color combination is reminiscent of aged copper or bronze, endowing the work with an aesthetic that is simultaneously antique and vibrant. The texture is rough and irregular, reinforcing the impression of craftsmanship and uniqueness. The composition is symmetrical, with the four main forms arranged in pairs, appearing to touch or mirror one another at the center. The lower sections of the sculpture form a kind of pedestal or frame, from which the taller, more distinct forms rise upward. Light falls from the front, illuminating the sculpture and casting shadows within its recesses, thereby accentuating its texture and colors. The sculpture rests on a neutral gray surface, which directs the viewer's focus entirely onto the artwork itself. The background is white and diffuse, serving to isolate the sculpture and facilitate a clear presentation. Overall, the sculpture "Quaternity" radiates a powerful yet delicate energy, inviting interpretation and engagement with its forms and colors. A quaternity (a grouping of four) is an archetype of wholeness and completeness. In mythology and the history of religion, the number four serves as an archetypal structural model—manifesting in concepts such as the cardinal directions, the elements, or the seasons—that brings order to the realized universe and underlies the human quest for harmony, cosmic order, and spiritual balance.
