In his unique sculptures, Johannes von Stumm combines such diverse materials as glass, granite, limestone, bronze, steel, and wood to create abstract or reduced figurative works. He works both with the pure statement of the material itself and with the contradiction of materials to harmoniously unite them in a sculpture. The transparency and translucence of glass make the massiveness of the stone even clearer, and the warmth of wood highlights the coldness of steel. These opposing pairs and their inherent tension dictate the thematic content of the sculptures. His formal language is clear and unambiguous: circle, cuboid, column. These forms are mostly segmented and divided. Johannes von Stumm works with the sharp cut between the parts and the materials themselves. It is precisely these hard boundaries that are exciting through their creative connections, as glass meets stone meets wood meets steel, and how they interlock to form a harmonious sculpture in the overall composition. Simple, yet multifaceted!
