Matthias Eder

Matthias Eder (born 1968) studied after an apprenticeship as a sculptor at the Academy of Fine Arts Stuttgart, among others with the professors Micha Ullman and Karin Sander. The focus of his work is the human being in his existential nakedness. His works define the shape of his body through the cutout, the fragment, the imprint of the skin. The metal, thin-skinned shells enclose interior and exterior space, appearing strangely two-dimensional and at the same time three-dimensional through the tense relationship of the fragments juxtaposed with each other and the ever-new views and insights that result.
