About Kuno Vollet
The German sculptor Kuno Vollet combines seemingly opposing elements in his sculptures. To create his abstract objects, he uses heavy, solid materials such as bronze, brass and steel. However, he constructs them so skilfully that they appear dynamic and almost weightless. His works are always in perfect balance and radiate harmony and calm.
Vollet draws inspiration for the forms of his sculptures from nature and the practice of transcendental meditation, which he has been involved in for many years. With these influences, he creates sculptures that symbolise infinity and continuous transformation.
Born in 1951, Kuno Vollet has been working as a freelance artist since 2003, with a studio in Kassel, Germany. In addition to sculpture, his oeuvre also includes painting, drawing, installations and mobiles. He now regularly exhibits his works all over the world. Among others, he has been represented at exhibitions and fairs in London, Miami, Berlin, Zurich, New York and Amsterdam.
A plastic work of sculptural art made of wood, stone, ivory, bronze or other metals.
While sculptures made of wood, ivory, or stone are carved directly from the material block, in bronze casting, a working model is prepared at first. Usually, it is made of clay or other easily mouldable materials.
The prime time of sculpture after the Greek and Roman antiquity was the Renaissance. Impressionism gave a new impulse to the sculptural arts. Contemporary artists such as Jorg Immendorf, Andora, and Markus Lupertz also enriched sculptures with outstanding works.
