ABOUT THE ARTWORK

In this work, the artist joined three marble slabs (Lasa marble & pink marble) with epoxy resin glue to form a single unit. The circular hole was then carved out with different tools. The steel sculpture consists of many individual wire pins, which were connected to each other by specific welding points and thus unite to form an abstracted human figure. This was drilled into the stone and glued. Thematically, the sculpture "time hole #2" deals with numerous myths and legends surrounding the caves of the Alps. It is reported that so-called time holes exist in some mountains, where time passes faster or slower than elsewhere. There are also reports of contacts with time travellers from a mirror world. The surface of the stone is sanded and left in its natural state. The steel sculpture has been sealed with matt clear varnish to prevent the steel from oxidising. Total weight: 40 kg

CREATIVE PROCESS AND INSPIRATION Manfred Hellweger questions the meaning and value of existence, the world and humanity. His distinctive sculptures are mainly made of wood, metal and stone. Hellweger uses simple shapes such as cubes, strips, boards, nails or shaped tubes. Using a variety of techniques, the individual parts are connected to create mostly figurative works that taper towards the base. Through this process, Manfred Hellweger's sculptures evoke a sense of vertical dissolution, symbolizing the perpetual change of our time. Everything changes and develops, nothing remains the same. Each piece embodies Hellweger's credo, “less of everything rather than more”, reflecting a philosophy of simplicity and contentment that extends beyond art.
