ARON DEMETZ

About the artist

(...) Be it whole figures of busts, the characters that Aron carves out of wood of middle hardness such as limewood and stone pine, evoke deep suggestions in the observer. Usually he represents young people that are visibly restless, but the anguish lies neither in their faces nor in their bodies and, in the same way as there is no verve of pain, there is no roughness that the wood itself as a material might imply either. All this creates a sort of alienation. The sculptures are all beings that are absorbed in the doubts of their own lives and they display a round plasticity composed busts and faces that show no tension. Some of these sculptures are in lifesize, but their eyes go beyond us and, while on the one hand they are so similar to us, on the other they are so far away. [Elisa CAPITANIO].
