Sculptures of Children Gehard Demetz
Impressive wood sculptures by Italian artist Gehard Demetz, Demetz born in 1972, Bolzano , and lives and works in Selva di Val Gardena. Demetz renders the human form in wood and juxtaposes it with digital, grid like voids
“His sculptures of children are at the same time attractive and disquieting and rendered with an amazing perfection that is by no means rhetorical or classical. One of the most startling technical features is the construction using small woodblocks and juxtaposing finely polished parts to very rough and sketchy surfaces. This particular construction and treatment render his sculptures absolutely unique in the domain of contemporary wood sculpture and is partly responsible for the great curiosity aroused by the appearance of his work in the art world.” Gehard Demetz
