Wooden Balance
Matthias Verginer at Liquid art system Capri
Liquid art system proudly announces the exhibition of Matthias Verginer in Capri.
On 18th May 2018 from 6:30pm, the artist Matthias Verginer will be present at Liquid Capri with his new works. The exhibition “Wooden Balance” is about humans figures and irony.
Trought his sculptures, Matthias Verginer wants to provocate our mind, making us reflect about human bodies and how we feel looking at something is not the model of standard beauty. This ironic work is accentuated by the provocation of precarious balance and also by the relation between human body and animals showing proportions very different from real life.
But the “Balance” of Matthias Verginer is not just the concrete one. The artist talks also about life and situations and how we react at them. The wooden sculptures of the artist require a non-passive reaction of the viewer, but his questioning about what he is looking at: animals behind people could be problems of everyday life, the not-iconic woman with her wings could be a dreamer.
Matthias Verginer works remind us how much we have to share besides our appearence. Every single sculpture has a story, just as every person in the world.

Matthias Verginer belongs to a young generation of wood sculptors who immediately abandoned all forms of craftsmanship and confronted the contemporary art system. His sculptures, some of them monumental, echo the aesthetic canons of ancient statuary, in the posture of the busts and the smoothness of the material, while adding a thoroughly contemporary feeling: nature and art seem to come together in his dreamy women.
