A series of stoneware sculptures representing imaginary heads. The first comments introduced Franz Xaver Messerschmidt and his Kopf-Stückhe to me. Thanks.

Character Heads

A collection of weather resistant stoneware heads. The unique heads exposed on this page are free works and follow no model. Most of the heads belong to my “learning period”. I’ve started sculpturing in clay back in 2011 and in 2012 I moulded my first heads and there’s more to it, I’ve never been in the art business before, starting with all of that around the tender age of 50.

Lester Young may look different but Good Bye Pork Pie Hat sounds to me like this guy. The saxophone is there, you simply can't see it.

You may quote for heads marked as available. Please use the contact form and indicate the name of the head. All heads can be placed outdoor as well. At the end of 2016 I’ve started to realize my first portraits as well.
