about this mixed media sculpture

LOVERS Black Edition by Rolf Frischherz is a poetic meditation on human connection intimacy and transformation. The intertwined figures symbolize two individuals in a dynamic embrace physically close yet emotionally complex. This duality speaks to the balance of vulnerability and strength within relationships.

The solid black acrylic lacquer finish represents mystery depth and emotional intensity. Black has long been a symbol of the unknown the profound and the strength found in shadow. Here it elevates the human embrace into a powerful ritual celebrating love as a deep and transformative force.

The fluid abstract shapes suggest movement growth and fusion without erasing individuality. This expresses the tension between union and selfhood a key theme in personal and relational development.

The modern synthetic core beneath the delicate black finish symbolizes the contrast between contemporary life’s technological reality and the timeless emotional experiences we share. The cement adds groundedness a foundation that holds the ephemeral beauty of connection.

Rolf Frischherz draws on his background as an executive coach working with leaders on personal transformation. LOVERS translates those themes into sculptural form exploring how intimacy influences growth and change.

Each mixed media sculpture tells a story of emotional depth. The embrace captures moments of tenderness conflict and reconciliation reflecting how relationships mirror our inner landscapes.

It also tells a story of transformation. Just as black can symbolize both concealment and revelation the figures embody how love refines and reshapes us. The work speaks to balance. The ongoing negotiation between closeness and independence trust and vulnerability.

This series invites viewers to reflect on their own relationships and the emotional journeys they entail. The tactile black finish and solid base remind us that love is both profound and enduring mysterious yet grounded in reality.

about the artist

Rolf Frischherz, born in 1955 in Lucerne, is a contemporary artist and sculptor based in Switzerland and Spain. He grew up in Ticino and now works between Madiswil, Bern, and his Spanish studio.

Since 2016, his studio has produced sculptures using wire and epoxy resin based on his original designs. Miniature versions of his works, created through 3D printing, began appearing as limited editions in 2022. Frischherz’s sculptures are held in public and private collections across Switzerland and Europe.

His artistic focus lies in human development, self-optimization, and the dynamics of interpersonal relationships. The works draw from his career as a coach for executives in transitional phases within global corporations. He translates personal growth, challenges, and transformation into large-scale abstract sculptural forms. His process begins with hand-formed wire frameworks coated with glass fiber and epoxy resin.

Each sculpture is then sanded, painted, and finished to ensure durability and weather resistance. Many works feature abstract, interlocking forms that contain multiple visible faces or perspectives. In 2024, he created the CHESS sculpture group, which led to the collectible CHESS EDITION set. 

LOVERS TWENTY GOLD is a limited series of 20 miniature sculptures covered by hand with gold leaf. Frischherz's art balances organic form with reflective themes on modern life and inner transformation.
