Please join us for a pop-up exhibition of new works on paper by Andreas Senoner. Light refreshments will be available and the artist will give a brief introduction to his artistic practice from 17:30-18:00 (in English). Everyone is welcome.
Andreas Senoner (b. 1982, Bolzano) is an Italian contemporary artist. He lives and works in Florence, Italy. He has been artist-in-residence at Skaftfell during April, spending a lot of his time drawing a process of deep visual thinking and searching for new topics and materials.
Andreas sculptural research is focused on a series of main themes, including metamorphosis, heritage, and stratification, on a symbolic and material level. For his artworks, he selects and uses unique materials, mostly from animal and plant sources including wood, feathers, lichens, fabric, beeswax always keeping in mind their history and process of creation and evolution, while giving value to those factors. The preferred medium is wood, an essential natural element, a collector of memories, a material that allows us to read traces of time before, during, and after the artistic process.
Andreas recalls the traditional sculptural processes in a contemporary perspective, based on the message he needs to convey, searching a language strictly connected to the concrete nature of the chosen materials and topics narrated. He tries to establish a dialogue and to induce parallels with the memories of the viewer.
