About the artwork

Rainer Lagemann says: “I use metal squares to sculpt the human form, creating works that elicit both the strength and delicacy of the body.” The climbers demonstrate the strength of an athlete that can scale the highest of rock walls with skill and willpower. With all of Rainer's sculptures, there is an added layer of beauty, abstraction and mystery. When darkness falls and light illuminates the pieces, the exquisite shadows of form, squares, body and spirit cast themselves upon the walls creating secondary sculptures of light and darkness.

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
