Sculptor Ranier Lagemann focuses on the human form — frozen in motion — in his modern stainless steel sculptures. Using a series of hollow squares, Lagemann welds together figurative sculptures that emphasize the strength and fragility of the body.
Before his career in art, Lagemann worked as an interior designer. He founded his firm, Bay Window Coverings, in 1988, in Berkeley, California, as well as The Magazine, an import and retail company focused on bringing European furniture to the United States. In 2005, Lagemann learned how to weld. After developing a passion for the medium, Lagemann sold his share in The Magazine in 2007 to fully concentrate on his art.
Lagemann imbues his sculptures with layers of significance. The colors of the squares offer depth and vibrancy, with each square symbolizing the range of human experience, including emotional, physical, spiritual and intellectual capacities. The shadows cast by the pieces add a layer of intrigue and wonder. Each piece is highly adaptable to fit into diverse spaces, its meaning changing according to the environment in which it is displayed.
Lagemann’s sculptures have been exhibited in galleries and public installations all over the world. Nikola Rukaj Gallery in Toronto, Ode to Art gallery in Singapore and DTR Modern Galleries in Boston, Washington, DC, New York and Palm Beach have all exhibited his work. Some of his public installations include the Hotel Monopol in St. Moritz, Switzerland, the lobby of the i-Lab Building at Harvard University and the Lenox Hotel in Boston.
