Maximilian Verhas

Maximilian Verhas creates graceful sculptures whose form resembles a captured movement. With his so-called “rolling bodies”, the artist lends heavy materials such as bronze a fascinating expression of sensual lightness. Thanks to their dynamic design and the possibility of setting them in motion, his works offer the wandering gaze of their viewers a fascinating multiplicity and captivating materiality.

Maximilian Verhas, born in Essen in 1960, studied figurative sculpture and painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Nuremberg under Prof. Christian Höpfner, Prof. Georg Karl Pfahler and Prof. Clemens Fischer. From 1986 he studied abstract steel sculpture at the Hochschule der Bildenden Künste, Berlin, under Prof. David Evison. He completed several study visits, including at the College of Art in Canterbury and in New York. Verhas lives and works in Berlin.
