About the Item
The Couple is an elegant figurative bronze sculpture by Nando Kallweit.
A male and a female figure as a single piece. Both are strong and independent individually but gain an added strength by each others presence and support. The male female combination in the couple strike a proud pose, appearing ready to take on the world together.
Nando Kallweit's work celebrates the modern human form while recognizing that our individuality is shaped by our heritage. A heritage from our parents, our neighborhood or a distant past ... in this case represented by the distinctive “Egyptian” head.
Nando carves each figure from oak using a variety of chainsaws. The oak marque is then used to make the cavity for a sand and clay cast bronze to be produced. The figure therefore retains the cut marks and wood grain of the original carving which gives it a very organic feel.
The Couple was produced in an edition of 7 pieces and one remains! Nando hammers his mark into the base as well as stamping the edition number.
Limited edition of 7 pieces.

Nando Kallweit
Nando Kallweit is a German sculptor working in bronze and oak. As a young boy, he was inspired by the beauty and antiquity of a bust of Nefertiti housed in the Egyptian Museum of Berlin. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, his new-found freedoms allowed him to travel to Egypt and develop his belief in the basic strength and pride inherent in inhumanity. His sculptures seek to emphasize this through elongated forms and upright postures. He reduces the figures to simple gestures and movements creating sculptures with a wonderful interplay between the archaic and the modern; between art and design. Nando’s work has been exhibited across Europe and is held in many private collections. He has produced a number of large scale permanent installation pieces for German municipalities and museums.

Marlene III is a tall, elegant bronze sculpture of a human figure.
Nando Kallweit is a German sculptor working in bronze and oak. Kallweit carves the original piece from a piece of oak using a chainsaw. The oak marque is then used to create a cavity in clay and sand into which the bronze is poured. The resultant bronze is particularly organic and tactile. The wood grain is apparent, as are the cut marks where the chainsaw has bitten into the wood.
