Pawel Althamer — Konrad
Pawel Althamer

Konrad

A life-sized figurative sculpture, *Konrad* presents a rawly constructed human form built from plastic and plaster layered over a metal armature. Althamer's signature approach embraces imperfection and material honesty, allowing the rough, unfinished surfaces to convey a sense of fragile humanity beneath the physical structure. The work reflects the artist's ongoing exploration of portraiture and identity, blurring the boundary between object and presence.
