circa 2020

Carola Eggeling is a German artist, she creates sculptures in plaster. The first step is to make a structure out of wire, an original form based on a spontaneous idea. This wire mesh is then covered with plaster, so that a plastic structure is gradually formed. During this process, the sculptor is constantly discovering possibilities to make visible and to shape her own inner and invisible world. Like many classical and modern sculptures, her creations not only occupy a physical space, they also create and describe a space. They invite one to look and participate in the spiritual and captivating play of volumes, surfaces, lines and spaces. The classical and abstract sculptures produce an astonishing effect despite its apparent simplicity: elegant and strong at the same time. The three-dimensionality of the sculptures gives the viewer the possibility of rediscovering and interpreting it again and again. A particularly surprising feature of the sculptures is that they always give a different image from the hundreds of points of view that the viewer can adopt.
