Axel Anklam (1971 – 2022) is a sculptor known for his abstract, organically shaped, light-flooded sculptures. In his works, he combines classic and contemporary materials – hard materials such as stainless steel and innovative materials such as glass fibre-reinforced plastic, epoxy resin and carbon. With his profound knowledge of static and musical-rhythmic laws Anklam combines weightlessness, transparency and mass in his sculptures in a fascinating way. The translucent sculptures are based on impressions of landscapes, in particular mountain worlds and the dynamics of winds. He expanded his artistic repertoire to include titanium-coated reliefs, which create an interplay of light and shadow in gold or black. The reflective surfaces create a three-dimensional space that encourages reflection on the self, life and the interactions between light, form and nature.
