Description

Dorothea is an elegant figurative bronze sculpture by Nando Kallweit.

An elongated, graceful and slender seated female form.
Modelled on modern postures but with a nod to the importance of heritage through the stylised Egyptian-influenced head.

Cast in bronze, its minimalist design emphasizes clean lines and geometric purity. The figure's elongated limbs and torso evoke a sense of grace, while the abstract form adds an air of mystery. Its faceless head and simplified features allow viewers to project their own interpretations, making it universally relatable. The sculpture’s surface texture is smooth yet subtly varied, capturing light differently across its contours, which adds depth and dynamism. 

Perched on a simple pedestal, the piece commands attention while maintaining a sense of understated sophistication. Its minimalist aesthetic challenges traditional representations of the human form, inviting contemplation about identity and form. This sculpture is a testament to the power of simplicity in conveying complex human emotions and experiences.

Nando carved the marque for the body from a piece of oak using a small chain saw. The marque is then used to make the cavity for a sand and clay cast bronze. The figure therefore retains the cut marks and wood grain of the original carving and give it a very organic feel.

Dorothea is produced in a small edition of 25 pieces. Nando hammers his mark into the base as well as stamping the edition number.

Presentation

German artist Nando Kallweit produces figurative sculptures and reliefs with aquiline and graceful appeal. After completing engineering school, Kallweit began a successful career as a freelance sculptor. His work has since become coveted for public installations and private collections alike.  

Whether viewed in art exhibitions, large-scale installations, or the urban environment, his work is remarkably striking. The interplay between physical object, negative space, and observer creates emotions and enticing poetry that change depending on the context.  

Kallweit is inspired by seemingly disparate cultures; the strength of ancient Egyptian sculptures, the dynamic forms of the modern Cubist movement, and an observation of our contemporary existence. Combined with a considerate approach, Kallweit renders archaic materials, such as blackened oak and bronze, with a palpable sensitivity. These forms are varied tirelessly in his creations. His elongated sculptures depict aspirational human figures in a proud stances that are aesthetically pleasing.  

Close observation of each piece leads to the discovery of unexpected details in the design which convey an emotional robustness. Kallweit moves continuously while creating his sculptures. He works with an intensity and energy that he must balance with a sensitive and considerate approach.  

Kallweit's work is permeated by a longing for the unknown, for the elusive, the divine, and the spiritual.
