The relationship Ernst Gamperl, an artist of international renown, has developed with wood as a living material and the acknowledgment of inescapable serendipity are a source of creative inspiration as well as the driving forces behind his work ? a work revolving around the artist's deep connection with nature and respect for his raw material. The wood worked by Gamperl sometimes comes from majestic trees tens or even hundreds of years old ? grown in nature, it is nature that has often sent these unmistakable creatures crashing down. Trees are an integral part of creation, symbols of life and strength that Gamperl has studied and ?perceived? for many years in symbiosis with their essence and nature. His ability to combine an unconventional approach to the material with a revolutionary technique and an original interpretation honed over many years results in works that stand out for their elegance and charisma. Gamperl stretches technique to its limits in creating powerful sculptures that unfailingly stir the viewer, who discovers something never before encountered. Text in English, Italian and German. SELLING POINTS: . Offers a fresh perspective on the potential of wood as an artistic medium . Utilises wood from majestic, centuries-old trees, often reclaimed from nature . Emphasises the organic nature of wood, incorporating its natural imperfections . Works featured in prestigious museums worldwide . Exhibitions include: Bayerisches Nationalmuseum, Munich, May 14 ?
