About the artwork
Stainless steel sculpture of a male climber. Wall mounted - All RL colors 45" x 9" x 75"h - 117cm x 23cm x 190cm h Edition of 9. Rainer Lagemann is a contemporary artist who reinvents the classical human form through his fascinating and innovative approach, welding small, hollow steel squares, to display the natural contours of the human form with astounding clarity. In this work the artist depicts a figure in the act of climbing. The figure can be interpreted to be literally climbing, while it could also be seen as a metaphorical representation of the quest to attain a particular goal in life. Rainer leaves it to the viewer for interpretation. The work is simultaneously ethereal and concrete, reflecting the strength, dynamism and delicate nature of the human body and spirit.
About the artist
Born in Dusseldorf, Germany, Rainer Lagemann has lived in San Francisco Bay Area since 1988. Today Lagemann resides in Miami, where he creates modern metal sculptures from small steel squares, welding them into modern interpretations of the human body or abstract variations of contemporary sculptures. Trained as an interior architect, Lagemann arrived to sculpture later in his life, but his unique treatment of material and subject matter earned him immediate international recognition. Rainer’s works have been exhibited around the world, including Canada, Singapore, Europe, and dozens of world-renowned art fairs, and are also part of prestigious private and corporate collections
