About Wiebke Bader
Wiebke Bader is a freelance artist and sculptor. She lives and works in Aalen, Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
Her preferred materials are bronze and wood. In her search for the poetic and essential, Wiebke Bader finds inspiration in nature. The organic forms and flowing lines of her mostly abstract sculptures complement each other to create an exciting harmony.
The artist likes to work with contrasts: round versus pointed, small versus large, open versus closed. The pieces invite the viewer to trace their curves and the play of light on their surfaces. The artist's joie de vivre is reflected in her works: shiny surfaces, opulent forms, firm yet floating, playful yet tranquil.
Wiebke Bader knows how to express deep emotions through abstract sculptures. Her works are also characterised by great variability. They offer new perspectives from every angle and can often be placed in different positions.
Her works are shown at national and international exhibitions and art fairs.
Term for an art object (sculpture, installation) that, according to the artist’s intention, is produced in multiple copies within a limited and numbered edition.
Multiples enable the "democratization" of art by making the work accessible and affordable for a wider audience.
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.
