Internationally acclaimed artist Julian Voss-Andreae is known for his striking large-scale stainless steel sculptures that often blend the figurative sculpture with scientific insights into the nature of reality. IMPULSE GALLERY is greatly honored to bring three of Voss-Andreae's sculptures for the first time to Lucerne, Switzerland. Two of the sculptures, Sentinel of Light and Sitting Man, are exhibited at the world renowned Bürgenstock Resort, 874 meters above Lake Lucerne.

sculptures on the edge of reality
« it is that light, of which we all carry a spark in us, that I am focused on »
Voss-Andreae aims to convey a deeper understanding of the nature of reality. His pieces are able to do so without the viewer needing to have any prior knowledge of natural sciences. The sculpture’s unique signature is that at first glance they seem abstract, however, they actually depict accurate aspects of reality’s lowest level. He aspires to increase the audience’s capacity to ’intuit the unfathomable, deeper nature of reality by sensually experiencing the works as Voss-Andreae states « Art, when free from the demands of literalism, has a unique potential for indicating aspects of reality that science cannot. »
As human beings, we are constantly engaged with our environment and are thereby co-creators of our reality. This interaction is beautifully captured in Voss-Andreae’s works as the viewer is actively changing the sculpture's appearance in reality through a change of perspective, which provides an embodied experience of an otherwise abstract scientific and spiritual concept.
