Günther Stimpfl: Sculpture 'Ambiguity', version in bronze

Product information "Günther Stimpfl: Sculpture 'Ambiguity', version in bronze"

In many religions, the deity was presented as a dual-sexed being, and in Plato's 'Symposium', Aristophanes tells the myth of the originally two-headed dual-sexed human being. From the ancient Chinese ying-yang teachings and the experiments of the alchemists to modern depth psychology and biogenetics, the speculations about the separation and reunification of the male and female principles are all in a row. Günther Stimpfl has reduced this elementary bipolarity, the duality of existence, the mental and physical ambivalence and the fusion of two bodies to a strict, abstract formula with his idol, which thematises such interrelationships.

Edition in bronze, cast using the lost wax technique, finely patinated and polished. Limited edition of 60 pieces.
