‘Sacred Space’ displays a cross-section of the various genres of Willi Siber’s recent work, wall objects with organic shapes as well as large floor sculptures that stretch out into space.
Siber disguises his material by covering it with layers of glossy enamel, trying to acquire new unexpected forms of expression and appearance. He has recently introduced colour, steel and car paint to his work. He mainly uses lucid emulsions and powdery limes for his sculptures, both of which absorb light and underline the structural consistency and organic origin of his wooden surfaces.
Siber combines modern, everyday construction materials with a sculptural language that places formal composition to the fore.
