About Herbert Mehler
The structures of the steel sculptures by the artist Herbert Mehler leave room for many associations but refuse to be completely classified. According to Mehler, every human being carries a canon of archetypes within him, and he traces these with a welding machine and an angle grinder.
Using COR-TEN steel with its typical reddish hue, he forms amorphous objects with ribs and lamellae that seem light and dynamic despite their sometimes huge dimensions.
Mehler was born in Steinau/Fulda, Germany, in 1949. He trained to become a sculptor under his father and later studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Nuremberg. His sculptures can be found in public spaces all over Germany, including in Berlin, Nuremberg and Würzburg. He also presents his works worldwide in solo and group exhibitions.
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.
