Description
RÖTHELBACH – Vertical Glass Light Sculpture (2023)
Röthelbach stands tall like a column of still energy — a testament to Peter Wiechenthaler’s sculptural maturity. Rising 95 cm high, this vertical composition fuses float glass and driftwood into an ascending rhythm of light. The LED illumination travels through the glass like a slow-moving current, drawing the eye upward in meditative progression. It is a sculpture that commands quiet attention, both architectural and deeply human.
Wiechenthaler’s process is one of patience and precision. Each sheet of glass is hand-cut and layered, bonded in alignment with the wood’s natural direction, forming a dialogue between geometry and grain. Through grinding and polishing, he brings transparency into harmony with form. The result is a vertical sculpture that embodies both strength and vulnerability — the essence of his philosophy that “glass grows.”
Collectors drawn to minimalist expression will find in Röthelbach an enduring monument to balance. Its reflective surfaces and organic inclusions make it evolve with ambient light, ensuring that no two moments in its presence are the same. It bridges craft and emotion, echoing the purity of mountain light and the meditative stillness of water.
Available through At Kinsky Art & Living Mallorca, Röthelbach exemplifies the gallery’s focus on unique, handcrafted European sculptures of timeless appeal. Each acquisition contributes to preserving a living tradition of material intelligence and aesthetic restraint. This is not an object to own; it is an experience to live with.
Each sculpture comes with a signed certificate of authenticity and insured packaging within Europe.
