At a glance
Shimmering epoxy resin and manipulated steel redefine the relationship between surface and space in this tactile exploration of color and light.
Why go
Experience the experimental materiality of German sculptor Willi Siber, whose works bridge the gap between heavy industrial construction and fluid, weightless abstraction in the heart of Madrid.
You'll see
Epoxy resin wall objects · Steel and wood sculptures · High-gloss pigments · Tactile surfaces · Contemporary abstract forms
Pace of visit
A focused gallery show where the physical presence of the objects encourages moving around each piece to catch shifting reflections.
Don't miss
The high-gloss wall plates, which appear to change from solid to liquid states as light hits the resin at different angles.
Artlovers Tip
Visit on a bright morning when natural light enters the gallery, as the iridescent quality of the resin works is best appreciated in changing daylight.

Description
Color Cosmos at Gerhardt Braun Gallery in Madrid presents the singular vision of German artist Willi Siber. This solo exhibition transforms the gallery space into a vibrant study of light, volume, and texture, showcasing how Siber manipulates industrial processes to create sculptural objects that appear both organic and fluid. Visitors to the Claudio Coello space can experience these works with free admission during standard gallery hours.
The presentation includes a range of wall-mounted pieces and free-standing sculptures crafted from common materials like wood, steel, and epoxy resin. The selection focuses on Siber's signature high-gloss finishes and deep, saturated pigments, where heavy industrial elements are made to seem weightless. These works vary from delicate, grid-like structures to solid, polished plates that appear to liquefy and shift depending on the viewer’s perspective and movement through the room.
The exhibition underscores Siber’s mastery of material transformation within the landscape of contemporary abstraction. By removing representational imagery, the artist invites a direct physical encounter with the essence of color and form. Bringing these pieces together in the context of Madrid’s Salamanca district offers a unique opportunity to experience how tactile surfaces can redefine the surrounding architecture through reflection and perceived depth.
Worth travelling for?
A visually striking stop for those interested in contemporary sculpture and the intersection of industrial design and abstract art.
