Jagna Weber

Stone sculptor Jagna Weber's depictions of animals demonstrate a creative exploration of tradition and modernity. While firmly rooted in the centuries-old tradition of the "Animaliers," they do not deny that the artist's perspective has changed over the past century. Her gaze, trained both by animal portraits—such as those of Franz Marc—and internalizing their movement patterns, creates sculptures of lightness and abstraction. The emphasized flatness and the omission of any depiction of fur structure show the animal reduced to its essential form, all the more aptly.

Jagna Weber studied at the Kassel Art Academy under Manfred Bluth and Kurt Haug from 1987 to 1993. Her work, which is included in private and public collections, includes female nudes and free-form works, in addition to animal depictions.
