Detailed description
Caricature "The Cook", cast hand-painted
Looking at life from the inside out. The Dutch caricaturist Fons van Dommelen has dedicated his three-dimensional art to character studies, exposing absurdities or a profession-specific habitus and depicting them in an exaggerated way. His figure is made of resin cast, a porcelain-like material. Every detail has been lovingly worked out and elaborately painted by hand. Size 31 x 12.5 x 12.5 cm (h/w/d).

Customer reviews
Alles bestens - danke!
Collective term for all casting processes that ars mundi carries out with the help of specialised art foundries.
Stone Casting
Similar to artificial marble, with the difference that instead of marble powder, the stone to be replicated is used in powder form.
Bonded Bronze (Cold-Cast-Bronze)
Bronze powder is polymer-bonded. Through special polishing and patination techniques, the surface of the cast takes on an appearance similar to that of bronze.
Imitation Wood
In order to guarantee absolute fidelity to the original, an artificially manufactured imitation wood is used as a base material that features typical wood characteristics: density, workability, colour, and surface structure.
Ceramic Mould Casting
Ceramic mould casting usually requires the use of casting clay, which is then fired and optionally glazed. Instead of the usual rubber moulds, plaster moulds are often used in ceramic casting and porcelain production.
Cast Bronze (Lost-Wax-Casting)
For the cast bronze, the thousand-year-old lost-wax technique is used. It's the best, but also the most complex method of producing sculptures.
