Work
"Wiebke Bader's works invite us to look at them in depth; they practically seduce us to explore their bumps and hollows, to enjoy the play of light and shadow in the various surfaces and materials. Our gaze follows the rising and falling volumes, the foreground and background, and the openings in between. Often, the surprised gaze then ends in a pointed end or gets lost in the eternally circling circle. Despite the different materials, the objects speak an individual, unmistakable formal language in their flowing depiction of bodies and movement."
Ruth Hansmann, art historian

Originals
Individuelle Skulpturen und Skulpturengruppen können in nahezu jeder Größe und passend für jeden internationalen Ort entstehen. Die Originale dazu werden meist aus Gips gefertigt. Danach werden in kleinen Auflagen Skulpturen aus Bronze, Aluminium oder Kunststein, sowie Unikate aus Holz oder Keramik realisiert.
Artist
"When looking at Wiebke Bader's works, one gets the impression that there is a strong curiosity, a true joy of experimentation. It seems like a desire to get to the bottom of things, to explore the materials, to discover their special qualities, and to develop them into a form. For the viewer, it is exciting to be swept along and infected by the artist's curiosity."
Ruth Hansmann, art historian
