About The Artwork

Kolbermoor Edition Bronze, black I am very pleased to announce that I will show the Kolbermoor Edition as a part of an art exhibition at the historical resort of a coal mine center “ Schlegel und Eisen” in Herten opening on 20th July 2018. This exhibition is dedicated to the final closing of coalmining in Germany. The title of the exhibition is “without coal”. Every sculpture will be casted in an edition of maximum 12 pieces. The shipment of the first piece is possible after the closure on 20th of August. Last summer Kastulus A. Wolf took part in a workshop led by Markus Lüpertz 1) and received further ideas and interpretation. During the workshop, it was possible to sharpen ones view and to capture ones point of view in clay. This was accomplished with the help of male and female nude models of the University of Art Munich. The objective of the workshop was to reflect and to further develop ones independent and artistic footprint. 5 of 8 studies made during the workshop are already casted in bronze. A black patina was chosen. The following nude sculptures are finalized - Uncompleted, female torso - Reclining, female - Reclining, male - The Beaten, male nude model laying on the back with arm protecting the head - The Sitting, archaic appearing person sitting The 5 nude sculptures were displayed for the first time at the Kutscherhaus Recklinghausen as part of the art exhibition “Beyond the third dimension” (Jenseits der dritten Dimension). The displayed sculptures were photographed and interpreted by Sybille Ostermann and were also part of the exhibit. The interplay between sculpture and photography enables the visitors to perceive different point of views and to experience the difference of contemplating art in two or three dimensions. Coal mining is abolished in Germany. Part of the farewell celebration is to present art related to coal mining. The 5 Kolbermoor nude sculptures will be shown in an ambiance related to coal mining. 1. Markus Lüpertz is considered one of most famous contemporary artists. His art works are defined by the suggestive power and archaic presence. From 1988 until 2009 Lüpertz was the director of the state art academy in Düsseldorf. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markus_L%C3%BCpertz 2. Sibylle Ostermann has a diploma in photo design and since decades she has been taking photographs in her studio and all around the world. She specializes in photographing humans and portraits. For the first time she demonstrates her experience and skills in the interpretation of bronze sculptures. www.foto-ostermann.de

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.
