Reiner Xaver Sedelmeier is concerned with "the appreciation of simplicity, the Mandorla motif symbolizes this perfectly." The Stuttgart-based artist made a name for himself with couches made of corrugated iron, chairs without seats and a gold dustbin.
With the limited Art Edition, Sedelmeier once again removes the utility aspect from the Mandorla design and refines the everyday object vase into a work of art with geometric gold applications or neon coloring. "It is my passion to recharge and reinterpret objects, materials and items by removing them from their actual purpose, i.e. freeing them from their actual functionality. In this edition, I am particularly fascinated by the contrast between the protective aspect of the sheet steel and the fragility of the porcelain."
Reiner Xaver Sedelmeier creates a refinement of the pure white Mandorla design through the surface application. Metallic gold or the shades of neon in pink, orange and yellow change depending on the incidence of light and form a radiant shell around the actual mandorla. "Which in a way also creates a very special aura," says Sedelmeier in the interview.
