Fossil art - Modern wall sculptures with fossils 

-Millions of years embedded in contemporary wall art and wall objects
 

The artist, sculptor and craftsman Hendrik Hackl has been working with ammonites and other fossil finds since 1989. His first wall sculpture was created in 1991 after his early jewelry and other free standing objects, steles and hand crafted objects. For this work he used an ammonite found in Germany, MDF (medium density fiber board), aluminum and acrylic paint.

The new wall sculptures seem to meet the public taste and the artist has since continued to experiment further. Ever increasing variations of new wall sculptures and wall reliefs emerge.

ATTEMPT TO EXPLAIN - Wall sculpture - 80 x 80 cm - Ammonites, aluminium, slate, steel frame

Hackl begins replacing MDF, which is similar to wood, with the world famous Posidonian slate from the Swabian Alp. Matching, purpose built iron frames surround the fossiliferous rock, into which the artist inserts various materials (in order) to evoke tales of the time before Adam and Eve with his works.
