21st Century Silvered Contemporary Sculpture by M. Treml, Handcrafted, AT 2018

Exclusive contemporary abstract sculpture from Austrian wood artist Markus Treml. This unusual, modern sculpture resulted after Mr. Treml visited an old friend in his last days, unfortunately already mentally confused. This very emotional last visit created this exceptional abstract sculpture which should depict the so-called "knot" in a brain - that is what the artist felt and saw in his mind´s eye in this very powerful moment. Artfully handcarved out of an old linden tree, the whole sculpture has been plated with fine silver. The absolute extraordinary looking surface with its exceptional patterns has been naturally created by fine occuring cracks in the wood which caused oxidation within the silver. A truly one of a kind modern sculpture, creating different forms, depending on the viewing angle. This masterpiece of contemporary art comes on a white round wooden base.
