Sculptures in Pain by Gehard Demetz
February 3rd, 2010 : by Rainey
I was famous last night, wood, 158 x 75 x 28 cm, detail
I don’t know much about Gehard Demetz, but his sculptures are phenomenal. These wood sculptures are masterfully cut and Demetz allows voids in the wood to add to the pain reflected by his characters.

Michelle's Place - from Grand Theft Auto IV - Oil on cradled wood panel 30" x 30"
There is nothing new about artists taking inspiration from other created works, but there is something here worth discussing. People tend to connect with landscape or cityscape paintings of places they have seen before and that is part of the beauty in them. A painting of the Streets of Charleston is going to connect with me in a way that it cannot connect with someone who has never been there.
