Nando Kallweit sculpture / installation / relief. Actually, it is always the reflections of people in the most diverse relationships. This is the most exciting topic because it reaches and moves everyone. The human being is always the focus of his work, whereby Kallweit develops basic types that vary in many ways. Kallweit's tool is almost exclusively the chainsaw. With her he creates the very small and up to 10 meter high sculptures - with enormous effort and extreme concentration. The surface, which openly displays the traces of the chainsaw, but which creates a very realistic impression of the figures through their posture and contours, is often rough and angular and yet soft in the contours. But the chainsaw also keeps him from getting lost in the details, when the suggestion of movement and form constitutes the sensual violence of art. One of the special features of his artistic thought and work process is that he allows the natural movements of the wood to flow into the design process and the associated changes in shape become an integral part of the work of art. The area of installation developed from the work on the subject of people and the diversification of the subject. The sculptures were placed in an extended context using the space with other materials, which remains an interesting intermediate area in the respective exhibition concept. The artist uses various materials to create expansive objects in suitable locations, which can be understood as temporary installations. His main concern is to draw attention to the subject of people. This has enabled him to make a strong impression and to reach a very broad public with his installations. Nando Kallweit wants to appeal to the feeling through the attraction of a captivating external form - in the sense of poetry - and thus achieve that the viewer opens himself up to the confrontation with the respective content. His latest field of work are large-format reliefs, created from the idea of showing people in everyday situations in a different way than photos do. The merging of two- and three-dimensionality and a dialogical interplay of light and shadow, distance and closeness make his wood and bronze works dynamic and space-defining
