It is the spiritual energy of a piece of art which counts, and nothing else.

In forty years of combining metal, glass and stone, Johannes von Stumm has fused the light and the dark, the solid and the liquid, the opaque and the transparent, our strength and our fragility, into incantations of a delicate balance.

His ‘Immaterial Figures¹, rooted in his work with glass, are filled - again - with light and darkness, with the sun, the moon and the stars, with rain, hail and snow.
The emptiness of the human form allows it to be permeated by the whole universe around it.
Emptiness becomes Fullness.

Johannes Von Stumm served as President of the Royal Society of Sculptors, as President of the Oxford Art Society and as President of the Open Studio Scheme West Berkshire and North-Hampshire. He is a founding member of Sculpture Network (Europe).
