Julian Voss-Andreae is a
German-born sculptor now based in Portland, Oregon.
In his youth he painted for a number of years, but then changed course and
studied physics at the universities of Berlin and Edinburgh. Voss-Andreae
did his graduate research in quantum physics with Professor Anton Zeilinger
in Vienna, confirming the validity of the famous wave-particle duality for
Buckminsterfullerenes (Carbon 60 molecules) [1]. Voss-Andreae moved to the U.S. in 2000 with his passion for art rekindled. He enrolled at the Pacific Northwest College of Art and graduated in 2004 with a BFA in sculpture. While still in Art College, Voss-Andreae developed a novel kind of sculpture based on the structure of proteins [2]. Part of his BFA thesis project was the completion of a large-scale protein sculpture based on a major discovery of Portland-born Nobel laureate Linus Pauling, which now stands in front of Pauling's childhood home. Voss-Andreae's work lies on the threshold between science and art and offers a sensual experience of a world that is usually accessible only through the intellect. Julian Voss-Andreae accepts commissions and provides bids for traditional sculptures as well as for pieces with a connection to science, medicine or technology.
