“Maimed Face,” part of Veit Korn’s “Head Cult” series, is a haunting and evocative exploration of imperfection and resilience, sculpted from Dietfurter dolomite, a stone renowned for its strength and earthy texture. This unique piece captures the raw emotional power of the human visage, with its partially fragmented features symbolizing both vulnerability and endurance. The carefully executed surface treatments—chiseling, bush-hammering, grinding, patinating, and oiling—enhance the natural tones and textures of the dolomite, adding depth and character to the sculpture. The title, “Maimed Face,” emphasizes the piece’s focus on the beauty and strength found in imperfection, challenging traditional ideals of symmetry and wholeness. Accompanied by a signed certificate, this work serves as a profound meditation on the human condition, blending historical artistry with a contemporary message of resilience and transformation.
