Born 1949, Germany
Lives and works in Germany
Karin Weber Gallery artist Willi Siber is a Germany-based sculpture and abstract artist working with steel, wood and epoxy and which blur the line between sculpture and picture.
Willi Siber is a sculptor and painter. 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.
