About the artwork
Rainer’s use of small hollow metal squares strip away distractions, creating works that are simultaneously ethereal and concrete, and reflect both the strength and delicate nature of the human body. Each square represents the trials and tribulations of life; with the four corners being the intellectual, emotional, physical and spiritual dimensions of humans. His sculptures capture the human body in motion, producing a freeze-frame of powerful gestures and emotions, that demonstrate the velocity of human movement.
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
