STADELBACH – Glass and Driftwood Light Sculpture (2023)
Like a river that has turned to light, Stadelbach embodies the lyrical precision of Peter Wiechenthaler’s art. Created in 2023, this sculpture captures a delicate equilibrium between two opposing elements: the wildness of nature and the discipline of human craftsmanship. It is made from layered float glass and driftwood, joined through a meticulous cold-glass process, then polished by hand to achieve a tactile perfection that invites touch as much as sight.
In Stadelbach, light becomes both material and metaphor. A hidden LED source breathes life into the glass, tracing the wood’s natural curvature with a gentle, pulse-like glow. It feels alive, as though the sculpture were quietly exhaling light into the room. For the collector, it is an object of presence — a synthesis of earth and transparency that radiates quiet confidence. Wiechenthaler’s approach is never decorative; it is existential. His glass does not conceal — it reveals.
This piece continues the artist’s exploration of growth and interconnection. The driftwood acts as memory; the glass, as transformation. Together, they articulate a visual language of renewal. Stadelbach finds its place not only in the realm of fine art but in the philosophy of balance — a fitting statement for spaces that value calmness and clarity.
Available through At Kinsky Art & Living Mallorca, this sculpture represents the evolving dialogue between material and emotion that defines the gallery’s collection. Its dimensions and craftsmanship make it a standout choice for collectors who appreciate art that breathes rather than shouts — refined yet profoundly alive.
