Wood Carvings by Gehard Demetz

Great sculpture by Gehard Demetz. The soft realism of the skin and facial features is contrasted wonderfully by the rougher, more stylized carving of the clothing. The cube shaped chunks of wood missing strategically throughout the piece give it an almost digital look reminiscent of a pixelated photo.
Demetz was born in 1972, in Bolzano, Italy. Currently he lives and works in Val Gardena.
