About the artwork
German sculptor Rainer Lagemann creates metal sculptures that capture the human body in frozen moments of kinetic energy. To the artist, whether athletes are professionals or amateurs, they have to possess both physical and mental strength, speed and the tenacity to endure hardship. Their well-developed physiques obtained by extensive physical training and a strict dietary regime are reflected in the toned curves of his sculptures.
About the artist
Born in Dusseldorf, Germany, Rainer Lagemann has lived in San Francisco Bay Area since 1988. Today Lagemann resides in Miami, where he creates modern metal sculptures from small steel squares, welding them into modern interpretations of the human body or abstract variations of contemporary sculptures. Trained as an interior architect, Lagemann arrived to sculpture later in his life, but his unique treatment of material and subject matter earned him immediate international recognition. Rainer’s works have been exhibited around the world, including Canada, Singapore, Europe, and dozens of world-renowned art fairs, and are also part of prestigious private and corporate collections
