Anthropomorphic figures

Consumed, anthropomorphic figures in shades of Bordeaux and blue dominate the imposing paintings and sculptures of Berlin artist Cathrin Hoffmann. “I create creatures that are close enough to humans that you can identify with them and far enough away that you can engage with them. If I see something that puts me off at first, I look closer…” says the artist.

On behalf of the artist, we were allowed to produce some of these impressive, humanoid sculptures according to her digital designs. The first four figures in sizes up to 236 cm were milled out of styrofoam. In the next order, we milled three more smaller figures from a very durable and hard PU material. All these unique pieces were then reworked by Cathrin Hoffmann by hand and partly coated with epoxy resin before being given a monochrome paint finish. These anthropomorphic figures – created through metamorphosis from the idea to the digital to the analogue world – have been presented to the public in renowned galleries worldwide, e.g.:

• Art exhibition “Probably Outside” in der Public Gallery in London
• Art exhibition “Human Hand for Scale” in Nicodim Gallery, Los Angeles

The company ACCENTFORM has already made 7 sculptures for me from a wide variety of materials. Before I discovered ACCENTFORM, numerous other companies assured me that my sculptures were too special and not feasible. However, ACCENTFORM has mastered every sculpture with flying colours. The friendly personal contact and the speed of production are remarkable and a unique selling point for me. One notices that the company, in addition to the professional production of industrial series products, also likes to put love and detail into the tricky task of making art objects.
