Quantum Physicist Turned Artist Creates Innovative “Disappearing” Sculptures

by Eva Baron - My Modern Met, April 18, 2025

Sculptor Julian Voss-Andreae hasn’t always been a practicing artist. Before moving to the United States in 2001, to pursue a BFA in sculpture, he was a quantum physicist—first at the Freie University Berlin and the University of Edinburgh, and later at the University of Vienna. While there, he and his team conducted a seminal experiment now commonly featured in many physics textbooks, demonstrating the quantum behavior for “buckyball” particles. It should come as no surprise, then, that once Voss-Andreae fully transitioned into art, physics would figure heavily into his practice.

Remnants of that previous profession are most clearly seen in Voss-Andreae’s “disappearing” sculptures. Built in slices of marine grade stainless steel, these sculptures often depict people suspended in poetic movement, whether it be locked in an intimate dance or perched in a meditative pose. Depending on the angle at which they’re viewed, the sculptures either possess an industrial, almost cold solidity or they vanish entirely, leaving behind metallic slivers that only hint at a specific shape.

It’s a visual effect directly inspired by the buckyballs Voss-Andreae once studied. First described by Max Planck and Albert Einstein, the internal oscillatory energy of this particular particle gives rise to the wave function of quantum physics, which Voss-Andreae has reimagined as evenly spaced, parallel slabs of steel. As his sculptures traverse time and space, their bodies are mapped upon these functions, which suddenly transform from mere mathematical realities into rhythmic, expressive gestures.

A selection of these quantum sculptures is currently on view at HOHMANN Fine Art’s Palm Desert gallery in California. Spanning over 15 works, the exhibition, titled Ontological Relief and the Illusion of Matter, serves as the artist’s first at HOHMANN, despite having been represented by the gallerist for more than 10 years.

“There was never enough work available to put together an exhibition,” Christian Hohmann, the gallery’s founder, explains. “Many times, sculptures would sell before they even arrived at the gallery. It took a concerted effort—and the generosity of several collectors who agreed to let us display their pieces before delivery—to make this exhibition possible.”

Ontological Relief and the Illusion of Matter is now open until May 16, 2025. To learn more about the artist, visit Julian Voss-Andreae’s website.

These Stunning Human Sculptures Disappear When You Look at Them From Certain Angles

Sculptor Julian Voss-Andreae wants viewers of his work to question the paradigms which have long been taken for granted. Specifically, the renowned artist wants to upend the conventions of Newtonian physics, which see the world as a collection of discrete objects acted upon by forces. With a graduate degree in quantum physics, Voss-Andreae uses sculpture to prove the fundamental integration of the universe. From certain angles, his figural sculptures disappear into the environment around them—proving humans cannot separate ourselves from nature.

Since its discovery in the early 20th century, the bust of Nefertiti, a work of limestone and stucco crafted by the sculptor Thutmose around 1345 B.C.E., has cemented the ancient Egyptian queen’s relevance as a global pop-culture icon. The Nefertiti of the infamous sculpture dons her signature cap crown, an extravagant royal blue headdress with a golden diadem band and elaborate designs, which suggest a power embellished by an elegant aesthetic. Beneath it, her face—symmetrical, poised, and objective in its beauty—is a reminder of the allure that has made the bust of Nefertiti one of the world’s most enduring artworks.

✨ Lo scultore tedesco Julian Voss Andrea crea sculture all'intersezione tra arte e fisica sperimentale.

A causa delle lastre di metallo molto sottili, le sue sculture scompaiono letteralmente da un certo angolo di vista.
