Willi Siber DE, b. 1949

Willi Siber (1949, DE) is a sculptor and painter. The German artist works with steel, wood and epoxy resulting in artworks which blur the line between sculpture and picture. His artistic work cannot be assigned to a particular genre, as it has long transgressed the border between painting and sculpture. It approaches what the artist refers to as “transformation”, or a sculpture-picture object. On the one hand, the artist’s work solves the classic problem of sculpture. On the other hand, these are paintings nestled between figure and base. Taken together, they release the viewer from tradition with an innovative and creative approach.
