Beschreibung

W. Nuss is a finely crafted walnut sculpture that plays with the visual and tactile relationship between skin and fabric. Created from a casting session with a model, the work translates the softness of drapery and the presence of the human body into one continuous wooden surface.

What makes this sculpture especially compelling is the treatment of the material: both body and cloth remain within the same wood species and tonal range, yet they are separated through subtle changes in finish. The skin appears smooth and luminous, while the draped fabric is softer and more matte in character. This creates a refined tension between sensuality, material, and form.

The choice of walnut emphasizes warmth, depth, and the beauty of darker skin tones, allowing the sculpture to radiate quiet strength and elegance. W. Nuss is a unique work that combines classical presence with contemporary sensitivit
