Georg Herold — Realer Realismus-Gebirge (Real Realism-Mountains)
Georg Herold

Realer Realismus-Gebirge (Real Realism-Mountains)

Georg Herold's *Realer Realismus-Gebirge (Real Realism-Mountains)* presents a sculptural landscape in which copper armature shapes spray-painted textile into undulating, mountain-like forms, creating an abstracted yet evocative terrain. The work playfully interrogates the concept of realism, using industrial and everyday materials to construct a representation of nature that is simultaneously artificial and visually convincing. The marble base grounds the piece in a tradition of classical sculpture, creating a tension between historical art conventions and Herold's characteristically irreverent, material-driven approach.

Medium
Copper armature, spray painted textile, and marble base.
