Description

"Flight" freely draws inspiration from the biblical episode of the Flight into Egypt, transforming it into a vision suspended between the sacred, the fairy tale, and contemporary imagination.

Mary and the Child are depicted during a journey that appears less as a dramatic escape than as a silent and necessary movement toward the unknown. The maternal figure embraces and protects the child, while both are carried by a deliberately indefinable animal: the traditional donkey is reinvented by the artist until it takes on an almost fantastical form, detached from its conventional representation.

It is precisely this transformation that gives the work its symbolic character. The animal is no longer merely a means of transportation, but becomes an archaic and imaginary creature, evoking the precariousness of existence, movement, flight, and the search for a safe place. The scene thus loses its literal narrative reference and becomes a universal metaphor for departure, protection, and the search for salvation.

The whiteness of the glaze enhances the almost visionary quality of the composition, transforming the figures into essential presences, while the ceramic material preserves in the modeled forms the physicality and immediacy of the sculptural gesture.

Created in 2018, is made of modeled terracotta, glazed and fired three times in a kiln, resulting in a surface and consistency comparable to ceramic. The work is signed at the base.

Presentation

Martin Emschermann was born in Freiburg, Germany, in 1969. In 1990, he moved to Italy, first to Perugia, where he studied at the University for Foreigners, and later to Carrara, where he attended the Academy of Fine Arts, graduating in Sculpture.

From the beginning of his career, Emschermann developed a practice deeply connected to the human figure and the human condition, experimenting with different materials including terracotta, bronze and stone. During his early years, he focused particularly on the theme of the horse and rider, before gradually turning his attention to urban graffiti, children's drawings, psychological experience and lives lived on the margins of society.

He took part in numerous solo and group exhibitions in Italy and Germany, as well as international sculpture symposia, including the first International Symposium of Elba and the International Symposium of Sculpture in Sendai, Japan.

In 1997, Emschermann moved to Palermo, where he still lives and works. His relationship with the city and its cultural environment gradually became a central element of his artistic research. Urban life, popular culture, spirituality and human experience enter his sculptural universe, contributing to a distinctive language in which matter, gesture and psychology converge.

His production ranges from monumental sculpture to small-scale terracotta works, from bronze to maiolica terracotta, as well as experiments with blown glass. His figures are often characterised by a strong sense of movement and an acute sensitivity to gesture. His work explores themes including play, childhood, the relationship between humans and animals, mythology and the sacred. Through modelling, carving and recomposition, the artist transforms matter into a kind of architecture of the body, where weight, space and tension contribute to the construction of the image.

Alongside his personal artistic research, Emschermann has undertaken important public and religious commissions, creating liturgical works and furnishings for several churches in Sicily. He is also the author of the bronze portrait of the Verist writer Emmanuele Navarro della Miraglia, installed in Sambuca di Sicilia, and the monumental portrait of Pope John Paul II in maiolica terracotta for the Cathedral of Caltanissetta. His works are held in public and private collections in Italy and abroad.

2026 marks a particularly significant moment in Emschermann's career. In Palermo, his sculptures were presented in the solo exhibition , hosted by the Palermo Municipal Historical Archive, where his exploration of play, childhood and the human condition was presented through a selection of works. In the same year, Emschermann took part in the 2026 Venice Biennale of Art, as part of Equatorial Guinea's participation in , with the sculptural group ().

Today, Emschermann's work is distinguished by a figurative, expressive and deeply contemporary sculptural language, in which the tradition of form meets a continuous investigation into the human being, his psychological dimension, and the relationship between body, matter and environment.
