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 Krümmung des mühsamen Vielleichts" (The Curvature of the Arduous 'Perhaps') by Andreas Loeschner-Gornau—which addresses themes of rising up and resistance—is an abstract depiction of an anthropomorphic figure characterized by a dynamic, intertwined pose. Crafted from a material reminiscent of bronze or a similar metal, the piece features a distinctive patina. Its coloration is striking and complex. Metallic gold and reddish-pink tones predominate, interspersed with a turquoise or blue-green weathering effect. This patina is distributed unevenly, creating an intriguing texture that evokes traces of oxidation or the weathering of aged metal. The gold lends the sculpture a sense of richness and luminosity, while the reddish and turquoise accents add depth and a certain ruggedness. The composition is powerful and expressive. One figure appears to rise from the base, forming a sweeping shape reminiscent of an arm or body reaching upwards. This figure features an open, ring-like structure at the top, creating an effect akin to a gateway or an aperture. Directly behind it stands a second, slimmer figure that seems to lean against or embrace the first. Its form is likewise curved and organic, with hints of hips and an upper torso. The legs of both figures are substantial, forming a stable base that nonetheless suggests movement through its curvature. The surface texture is particularly noteworthy; rather than being smooth, it is highly textured. Fine lines, grooves, and small indentations are visible, lending the material a lively, almost organic quality—as if the figures had aged and borne the marks of time. In certain areas—particularly the gold-colored section—distinct linear indentations are visible; resembling incised lines, they add another layer of textural detail to the artwork. The sculpture is evenly lit, highlighting both its three-dimensional form and the material's details. Set against a neutral white or very pale gray background, the sculpture’s colors and shapes are isolated and effectively showcased. Subtle shadowing on the sculpture’s surface and the base accentuates its sculptural depth, lending it a tangible physical presence. Despite its abstract form, the sculpture as a whole conveys a powerful emotional impact. The intertwined shapes and the figures' upward-reaching posture evoke a sense of exertion and struggle, yet also of breakthrough and triumph—themes that align with the work's title. The curvature and the way the figures interlock create a tension that reflects the notions of "arduousness" and "possibility" suggested by the title.
