ARON DEMETZ
Aron Demetz is a sculptor who primarily uses traditional woodcarving techniques to create life size sculptures, which often convey his preoccupation with humanity’s relationship to nature. The process of working with wood is a fundamental part of Demetz’s aesthetic, where he explores the possibilities and limitations of it as a material and celebrates the wood textures and its transformation by applying varying natural processes. The simplified abstracted human figures can seem like personification of the wood itself. The resulting works have a strong physical presence, which deeply engage the viewer on a psychological level, conveying both our uniformity with nature and our alienation from it.
The charred remains of the artist’s works evoke a new range of sentiments that delve deeper into the vulnerabilities of both the wooden materials they are composed of and the human figures they represent. Demetz’s sculptures present mankind and nature as one, reflecting the fragility of both. The burned structures peel back the facade of the figurative forms and expose their susceptibility to hindering elements, both i

Aron Demetz has achieved international prominence with exhibitions at the Venice Biennale in , PAC in Milan, MACRO in Rome and the Arp Museum in Rolandseck, Germany.
The process of working with wood is the foundation of Demetz's oeuvre and aesthetic. Using an ancient woodcarving technique that originated in the 17th century in South Tyrol, Demetz explores the possibilities and limitations of wood as a material and celebrates its textures and ability for transformation by deploying a range of innovative techniques, including controlled burning, lacerating the wood or applying layers of natural resin. Indeed, his sculptures evoke themes of injury and healing; of metamorphosis.
“For me, the act of burning is so important; for what remains is Truth, clear and unmistakably raw. It’s a way of not only being clear and unequivocal, but a means by which one reverts back to zero.” Aron Demetz
The stark contrast between the smoothly carved figures and the highly textured distressed wood surfaces; the pale limewood and charred wood cast in bronze, serves as a visual metaphor for this ambivalent
Aron Demetz
Aron Demetz (born in in Val Gardena, Italy) lives and works in South Tyrol.
He focuses his research on the transformation of organic and non-organic matter throughout time and how it interacts with human action. Moving from a strong background in traditional woodcarving techniques, a distinctive feature of his homeland in South Tyrol, Demetz reworks the tradition exploring matters such as wood, plaster, and bronze. Interested in sculpture as an epistemological tool, the artist investigates our world through a parallel sculptural universe inhabited by fictional creatures and mysterious shapes.
In his practice, the process leading to the creation of a work plays a central role. By stressing and studying matter throughout combustion, oxidation, and fungal growth, Demetz proceeds by trial and error in an open process whose results are unpredictable, following and not guiding the mutations of matter.
