The sculptures reflect Demetz\u2019s attention to details. His precise and perfect mastery of human anatomy makes his sculptures look like paintings or sketches, and his wonderful compositions and sense of perspective make this illusion look like reality. He\u2019s able to shape tiny folds in clothing, reproduce loose strands of hair, and make human anatomy so well that you\u2019d think these figures really exist.<\/p>\n

The sculptures consist grain of the wood and its warm colors, which give them a tactile appearance that would be difficult to fake with paint. Demetz\u2019s sculptures also have a concept of loneliness. The figures\u2019 backs are often turned away from us as they stare at the ground. It\u2019s like they\u2019re either ignoring us or having feelings of loss, longing or a fleeting period in time.<\/p>\n
Born in Bolzano, Italy in 1969, Peter Demetz went to art school in Ortisei in 1983. While he\u2019s still giving lectures and seminars on wood sculpture as well as courses on working with wood and clay, drawing, design and anatomy in different platforms, he continues to create his art made out of wood. Demetz has received many awards including; 1st prize at the art prize \u201cPremio Arciere<\/strong>\u201d of Sant’ Antioco in Sardegna (Italy) for the work: “L’analfabeta”, 45 x 37 cm, 1st prize at the international artprize “XXXVII Premio Sulmona “<\/strong>, in Sulmona (AQ), for the work: “Remember”, 60 x 49 cm, 1st prize “Premio Pio Alferano<\/strong>” at the art prize “Murat \u00e8 vivo<\/strong>” in Castellabate (SA), for the work: “nelle strade di Pizzo”, 85 x 100 cm.<\/p>\n \u00a0 Some of his selected exhibitions <\/em>include;<\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0 2014<\/strong> _Knokke (B), <\/strong>Piretti art gallery<\/strong><\/a>, “Hyper Realities. _New York, Scope Art Show 2014 <\/strong>with the gallery WHITE ROOM LIQUID ART SYSTEM<\/strong><\/a>. _Bologna<\/strong>, Artefiera<\/strong> with the gallery ARTFORUM Contemporary<\/strong><\/a>. _<\/strong>Catania, MacS <\/strong>(Museo Arte Contemporanea Sicilia)<\/strong><\/a>,<\/strong> group exhibition “Ad Imaginem Suam” by<\/strong> Alberto Agazzani.<\/p>\n 2013<\/strong> _<\/strong>Miami<\/strong>, Art Miami Context,<\/strong> Gallery WHITE ROOM ART SYSTEMS<\/strong><\/a>. _<\/strong>Istanbul, CI Contemporary Istanbul<\/strong> with the galleries ARTFORUM<\/strong> and White Room Art System<\/strong>. _<\/strong>Verona, Art Verona, <\/strong>Gallery ARTFORUM<\/strong><\/a> from Bologna.<\/p>\n 2012<\/strong> _ Miami<\/strong>, Art Miami Context<\/strong> and Scope Miami<\/strong> with the gallery WHITE ROOM ART SYSTEM<\/strong><\/a>. _Den Haag (NL)<\/strong>, EPO Building, “different similarities – somiglianze differenti”<\/strong>, collective exhibition by Egon Dejori. _Bologna<\/strong>, gallery ARTFORUM<\/strong><\/a>, “Peter Demetz – Reflections”, presented by the curator Beatrice Buscaroli. _ORF 2 (local austrian TV), “The artist Peter Demetz”, <\/strong>TV news “S\u00fcdtirol Heute”.<\/p>\n 2011<\/strong> _Rome<\/strong>: Palazzo Valentini, Sala Egon von F\u00fcrstenberg, solo exhibition, invitation by Presidente Nicola Zingaretti. _<\/strong>Trento<\/strong>, Palazzo Trentini, 54th Biennale of Venezia, Italian Pavillon – Regione Trentino-Alto Adige, curated by Vittorio Sgarbi.<\/p>\n \u00a0 2008<\/strong> _ Roma: Il Mitreo-Arte Contemporanea, \u201cSegni di Confine\u201d, curated by Maurizio Vanni _ Sant\u2019Agostino(FE): Oratorio, \u201cnebenr\u00e4ume-gli spazi dell\u2019io\u201d, personal exhibition _ Cento di Ferrara: Castello della Rocca,\u201cnebenr\u00e4ume-gli spazi dell\u2019io\u201d, personal exhibition (catalogue<\/em>) _Merseburg: 3th artfair _ Milano: Palazzo della Permanente, exhibition of the art competition finalists \u201cPremio Arte 2008\u201d<\/p>\n![\"wooden-sculptures-peter-demetz-2\"](\"http:\/\/orsiad.com.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/wooden-sculptures-peter-demetz-2.jpg\")
