About the artwork

Rainer Lagemann is an artist who takes the classic artistic medium of expression and beauty, the human body, and uses an unconventional method of hollow steel squares to create works of beauty. While doing so, he retains the essence of the human spirit and also adds an element of abstraction and a contemporary outlook. In this piece Rainer constructs a human torso that appears to be hanging on to a particular object with his right hand. It can be interpreted to as individuals hanging on to pieces or fragments of life which they are unwilling to let go of, thus clinging steadily onto them. The alternative is the process of launching into unfamiliarity and the unknown.



About the artist

Born in Dusseldorf, Germany, Rainer Lagemann has lived in San Francisco Bay Area since 1988. Today Lagemann resides in Miami, where he creates modern metal sculptures from small steel squares, welding them into modern interpretations of the human body or abstract variations of contemporary sculptures. Trained as an interior architect, Lagemann arrived to sculpture later in his life, but his unique treatment of material and subject matter earned him immediate international recognition. Rainer’s works have been exhibited around the world, including Canada, Singapore, Europe, and dozens of world-renowned art fairs, and are also part of prestigious private and corporate collections
