Gigantic Hand Sculpture Goldleaf Plated by M. Treml, Austria 2021
-
Description
One of a kind, contemporary modern golden hand sculpture made by renowned Austrian wood artist M. Treml. An extraordinary, gigantic floor standing "hand" sculpture (just see the size comparison next to a normal hand in picture No. 2) which has been designed and handcarved out of a large, very old linden tree by the artist in months of elaborate work. Hundreds of hand applied gold leaves confer this incredible masterpiece of wooden art an absolutely stunning look. The fantastic shining, valuable gilt surface reinforces the outstanding line management. Perfect anatomically shaped, this large sculpture should remind us of a past golden era when everything was made complicated by hand and not automated by any machines, robots or algorithyms like it is nowadays. At the same time it is also a warning to humankind to take more care of our amazing planet and our society. A truly unique and uncommon piece of art/ sculpture that will definitely attracts everyone´s attention.
