Oversized sculpture – Jean Claude van Johnson

Oversized sculpture makes it onto the Bild newspaper

The new streaming series “Jean-Claude Van Johnson” was launched exclusively on AMAZON at the end of 2017. For the worldwide film premiere on 12.12.2017 in Paris, we were commissioned by the event agency GRAL commissioned an oversized sculpture. The statue is intended to represent the well-known action hero Jean Claude van Damme, who plays himself in the JCVJ series.

Part of the commission included two columns including a plinth under the feet of the monumental figure. The columns were made of polystyrene and the plinths of wooden panels and finished with a marble look.

We first roughly milled the 2.7 m wide figure out of polystyrene. All the details, such as the facial features and the muscle parts, were created manually by the artist. Waldemar Neumann modeled after photo templates. The polystyrene surface was then given a texture and gold patina. Our sculpture was literally well received in Paris, cut a fine figure alongside the action hero at the premiere and even made it into the Bild newspaper.
