More about Willy Verginer
Willy Verginer is an absolute master of wood sculpture, capable of making contemporary a genre tied to the tradition of South Tyrolean craftsmanship. What is astonishing is not only the perfect technique, but the surrealist poetics with which he carves his figures, which, enchantingly, become the characters of a fairy-tale world: just a few hints, a line of color, an alienating detail, are enough to bring the viewer into a fairy tale.
