Aron Demetz
Aron Demetz is an Italian sculptor known for his deeply evocative, figurative sculptures, which often explore the relationship between humanity and nature. Born in 1972 in the Italian Alps, Demetz works primarily with wood, a material that is central to his artistic expression. His sculptures typically depict human figures, though they are frequently distorted, burned, or scarred, reflecting themes of decay, regeneration, and transformation.
Demetz’s work is characterized by the tension between the beauty of the natural wood and the imperfections or damage he introduces. He uses techniques like charring, scraping, and layering to alter the surface, which can evoke both suffering and resilience. His figures often seem fragile, exposed, or raw, but at the same time connected to the natural world and imbued with a sense of healing or renewal.
Demetz's art engages with traditional craftsmanship but adds a contemporary, almost existential layer, confronting themes like vulnerability, the passage of time, and the impact of humanity on nature. His work has been exhibited internationally and continues to evolve, drawing from both classical influences and modern sensibilities. https://www.arondemetz.it/
