Paul Wegner is widely recognized for his ingenious manipulation of negative space, a technique evident in his bronze sculptures that appear to challenge the laws of gravity. Coined as "fragmentation" during an interview with a Virginia newspaper reporter early in his career, this method has become synonymous with Wegner's artistic prowess. Focusing on his preferred theme of music, Wegner infuses his compositions with a vibrant energy that resonates throughout his sculptures.
