Willi Siber creates unique landscapes of colour, shadow and light. Being a painter, sculptor and object artist his focus lies on wood and metal, often covered with brilliant finishes. His works are meticulously constructed yet playful and endlessly fascinating in its use of colour. With a palette ranging from muted earth tones to electric hues of pink and green, he seems to match form to color as if by instinct.
The bent-and-folded steel pipe sculptures, covered in pristine coats of enamel, possess a luxurious shimmer, beckoning like jewels, while other works, coated in darker, powdery hues, are quiet and subdued. Pattern and form are also central to Siber’s works. The clean lines of his steel and lacquer wall sculptures fold and unfold in colorful ribbons and knots, while his wood panels covered with metal and epoxy resemble rare, elaborate coral. Each piece seems part of an endlessly expansive system, imbued with a sense of wonder and possibility.
