In his unique sculptures, Johannes von Stumm combines materials as diverse as glass, granite, limestone, bronze, steel and wood to create abstract or reduced figurative works.
By combining different materials, he creates a tremendous clarity and thus an almost meditative calm. He works on the one hand with the pure statement of the material itself and also with the contradictory nature of the materials in order to unite them harmoniously in a sculpture.

The translucency and transparency of glass emphasises the solidity of stone, while the warmth of wood highlights the coldness of steel. These pairs of opposites and the tension between them define the thematic content of the sculptures. Their formal language is clear and unambiguous: circle, cuboid, column. Most of these forms are segmented and fragmented.

Johannes von Stumm works with the hard cut of the partial forms and the materials in relation to each other. It is precisely these hard boundaries that are exciting due to their creative connections, how glass meets stone meets wood meets steel and how they interlock to create a harmonious sculpture. Simple and yet multifaceted.
