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

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

Vision

Bow I in front of the Audimax of Aalen University

Wiebke Bader creates sculptures that are also models for larger works. Larger than life, they could stand in public spaces or set a highlight in spacious gardens.
