GERHARDT BRAUN GALLERY 15 - Calle Sant Feliu 15, 07012 Palma
The group exhibition brings together four artistic positions that engage with the nature of sculpture in distinct ways. Sebastian Gumpinger, Ronald Westerhuis, Martin Mas and Oliver Johnson work with materials defined by their physical properties—aluminum, stainless steel, and wood. Yet in their hands, these substances transform from mere matter into carriers of expression, tension, and presence. What unites all four artists is an intensive engagement with material as the starting point of the artistic process. Through cutting, shaping, grinding, polishing, or deliberately leaving traces visible, a transformation occurs: the material loses its neutrality and gains its own identity. The sculpture is not simply formed; it develops an aura that extends beyond its physical substance. The exhibition presents both freestanding sculptures and wall-mounted works, revealing the versatility of sculptural practice. While aluminum and stainless steel are often associated with precision, reflection, and an industrial aesthetic, wood introduces a different temporal dimension—they carry traces of growth, geological history, and artisanal tradition. Through their diverse processes and approaches, the artists create works that transform seemingly static materials into something alive. The sculptures enter into dialogue with space, light, and the viewer. They assert their presence, shift with perspective, and invite the eye to follow their surfaces, edges, and volumes. Each work thus becomes an autonomous body in space—an object that not only exists, but acts. In this tension between materiality and perception, the central theme of the exhibition unfolds: the moment in which matter takes shape, and form becomes life.
