The diversity of the human being and his body are the central themes of the impressive bronze sculptures of the well-known German artist Dietrich Klinge (* 1954). Because the molds for the works are made of weathered wood, the surface texture of this natural material is also conveyed in the bronze sculptures, creating an exciting contrast in the figures. These, like the “Figur 274” of 2015, do not represent a particular culture, but embody archaic, multicultural beings through their individuality. ET
