Johannes von Stumm:
Johannes von Stumms unique combination of three different materials has attracted public and critical acclaim in a decade of successful exhibitions, both in the UK and abroad. His startlingly original sculpture, which engages continually with risk and a defiance of accepted laws, joins iron, granite and glass to create abstract or reduced figurative works in which apparently conflicting materials exist in complex harmony
Von Stumms choice of media and instinct for experimentation is deeply rooted in his background, in a childhood and adolescence spent at the foot of the Alps with long winters.
At eighteen, during a visit to Paris, von Stumm was deeply moved by the power and beauty which he saw in Rodins sculpture; he immediately began to work figuratively with clay and plaster, first at home and then at the Academy of Fine arts in Munich; six months spent in a quiet Italian village strengthened his desire to test the potential of glass, stone and steel combinations.
There is clearly evident spirituality in Von Stumms sculpture, an expansive wisdom which draws its richness from his fascination with Buddhism, Hinduism, Shamanism and ice and rocks.
