About the Item
The Guardian, or Wächter, is an elegant figurative bronze sculpture by Nando Kallweit.
This sculpture exudes elegance through its elongated, slender form, capturing attention with its minimalist sophistication. The piece rises dramatically, its verticality echoing strength and grace, while its surface bears a textured finish that adds depth and intrigue. The figure, though abstract, suggests a contemplative human presence, standing with a poised yet introspective demeanor. Its simplicity is deceptive, as it evokes profound emotion and introspection. The sculpture's stark contrast against the background emphasizes its silhouette, inviting viewers to explore its subtle details. Its refined lines and modern aesthetic make it a captivating focal point, embodying both vulnerability and resilience with remarkable artistry.
Nando carves the marque for the body from a piece of oak using a small chain saw. The marque is then used to make the cavity for a sand and clay cast bronze. The figure therefore retains the cut marks and wood grain of the original carving and give it a very organic feel.

Nando Kallweit
Nando Kallweit is a German sculptor working in bronze and oak. As a young boy, he was inspired by the beauty and antiquity of a bust of Nefertiti housed in the Egyptian Museum of Berlin. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, his new-found freedoms allowed him to travel to Egypt and develop his belief in the basic strength and pride inherent in inhumanity. His sculptures seek to emphasize this through elongated forms and upright postures. He reduces the figures to simple gestures and movements creating sculptures with a wonderful interplay between the archaic and the modern; between art and design. Nando’s work has been exhibited across Europe and is held in many private collections. He has produced a number of large scale permanent installation pieces for German municipalities and museums.
