Haberpointner makes wooden sculptures that oscillate between an abstract geometric form and a concrete figurative image. He chops, saws and stains to create innovative art objects, liberated from the roots of naturalistic wood sculpture shaped by craftsmanship. In doing so, he succeeds in developing a contemporary context with the simple material of wood.
Powerful mechanical processing deliberately leaves traces on the works.
By beating, chopping, sawing and burning, textures are created that condense into a graphic surface, lacking any mathematical rigour and unfolding a special aura.
Stains are sprayed on one side of the relief-like structures of the wall objects, so that transitions between surface and space, the simultaneity of specific qualities of image and object come to life.
Alfred Haberpointner's works are increasingly present internationally. Among others, in Dubai, Paris and most recently in Miami.
