Luciano Pavarotti On New Year's Eve 2015 the German Television presented a rerun of the “Gala of the Three Tenors” placed in Rom´s Caracalla thermal springs. The original reason for this event was the opening of the soccer world cup on Sept 07th, 1990. This video contains many different perspectives of Pavarotti, including views of his face without makeup during the rehearsal. During this memory of one of the greatest tenors I had the idea to create a portrait in bronze to honor the musical companion of my last decades. It was more difficult than expected to get photos of different views to have a basis for a three dimensional sculpture, because in official pictures Pavarotti is only shown from his good side. I had no choice but to take the video as the basis. The model made of clay was finished in February and the casting in bronze took place in March. A blue pigmentation was chosen for the portrait. The dimensions are 34 x 19 x 29 cm. more details: info@kastulus-wolf.com KAW Pavarotti Looking at a bust of Luciano Pavarotti, his most recent piece, one sees next a tenor in a moment of utmost tension, invigoration and his sinews in the process of gathering strength. In this situation muscle fibres at the corner of the eyes and mouth join in a harmonic symphony achieving complete expressiveness and a sense of a moment of dramatic feeling. Kastulus is by the way a habitual enthusiast of Verdi’s and Puccini’s operas. We seem to know Luciano Pavarotti quite well, although this bust presents him as frail and tired. His expression shows the ambivalence oozing from the famous personality. Behind the brilliant façade an abyss is unveiled. Even though the sculptor concentrates particularly on the eyes, which are instrumental in contacting the environment. Mariana Burdida-Kemper Wuppertal, September 2016

Kastulus A. Wolf Kastulus A. Wolf born 1953 in Wiesbaden, Germany is a sculptor. His oeuvre deals primarily with the features of Mankind. Human beings, who with their mimicry, gestures and bearing for one instant expose their soul, making a profound impression on their onlookers. Modern European artists, such as Rodin, Giacometti and Henry Moore were perfectionists in producing soul revealing works of art. It was their oeuvre that inspired and motivated Wolf to develop his own approach to the artistic impressions abundant in the Human Race. In addition Kastulus A. Wolf was inspired by the rich and unfamiliar manner of the native art of the African and South American continents. These at first sight very different origins of art, show in their combined intersection the concentration on the essence of Mankind and the interpretation of its hopefulness, visions and anxieties. All of this is reflected in the works of Kastulus A. Wolf. Several of his creations display with their rough and brittle surface and the concentration on the essentials of solid streamlining, the relationship to the ancient art of long lost native civilizations. Others are delicately proportioned prototypes, based on the Hades of Dante Alighieri or the ghost of Hieronymus Bosch. Their origins are not in the turbulent history of Mankind, but the subconscious. This sphere is as fragile, confused and sensitive as the visions from which it originates. And exactly like the arising vision from the sub-conscious, Kastulus A. Wolf’s pieces appear at the same time to be alarming and familiar, a human being with claws instead of fingers and ears as wings. Intimidating, but frightened and fragile at the same time. Nothing unveils the human soul better than facial expressions ie. mimicry. Following his principle of expressing Mankind through art, Kastulus A. Wolf is, at present concentrating on casting portrait busts. The sculptor Kastulus A. Wolf uses strong durable bronze to capture the brief human moments. Using this material enables the artist to give his pieces a certain timelessness, he releases them from the flow of time and mode, and from the haste of the postmodern.
