Detailed description
Sculpture "The Muses Thalia", white cast version
The works of the Belgian Renaat Ramon are characterised by their great objectivity. Geometric structures, clear lines and a monochrome colour scheme are frequently recurring features of his sculptures. Yet for all their rational austerity, they also radiate something calming and harmonious.
Thalia, who appears in Greek mythology as the muse of comedy and entertainment, is transformed by Renaat Ramon with almost mathematical precision into a fascinating futuristic being.
Sculpture made of resin, lacquered white. With certificate. Size 45 x 15 x 17 cm (h/w/d). Weight 10 kg.

About Renaat Ramon
The Belgian Renaat Ramon is a true multi-talent. His oeuvre includes sculptures, paintings and graphics as well as installations and futuristic furniture design, texts and poems. The basic idea of constructivism and minimalism runs through all his works.
He also takes a very logical and rational approach to the design of his sculptures. He deliberately turns away from the natural forms of his motifs and leads the sculptures to purity and harmony through a clear and geometric language of form.
Sculptural representation of a person's head and shoulders.
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.
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.
