Wolfgang Flad (Germany, b. 1974) graduated from the State Academy of Fine Arts Stuttgart and currently lives and works in Berlin. Renowned for his distinctive sculptural language, Flad departs from the weight and monumentality traditionally associated with sculpture. Employing wood, metal, glass, and recycled materials, he creates sinuous, irregular forms that embody organic vitality and tension. His solo exhibition at Tampa Museum of Art，his works by permanent collected the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart, Kunsthaus Zürich, Centraal Museum Utrecht.
Art historian Marc Wellman traces Flad’s work back to the pre-Socratic philosopher Heraclitus and his dictum Panta Rhei (“everything flows”), articulating the concept of the “eternal transformation of being.” As sculptural subjects, Flad’s works possess both permanence and instantaneous dynamism; their origins and endpoints remain elusive. Within three-dimensional space, time animates matter. The interwoven, skeletal, alien-like structures are not inert objects but complex spatial narratives, revealing the perpetual transformation of material within the flux of existence.
Wolfgang Flad: FORMA FUTURA is not merely an exhibition but a visual allegory of the future. In the Anthropocene, confronted with material excess and environmental crisis, Flad proposes a sustainable aesthetic through reverse transformation. Waste and rebirth are no longer binary opposites; fragments of past discourse become the substratum of future life. Suspended between presence and absence, these organic entities—seemingly from an as-yet-unreached dimension—breathe and proliferate quietly, inviting viewers to contemplate invisible currents of energy and to witness an ongoing, eternal becoming of form and essence.
