About the Item
German artist Philipp Liehr first discovered his extraordinary dexterity as a dental technician. He soon perfected this artistically as a cartoonist and during his training as a sculptor.
Today, Liehr is known for his contemporary wooden sculptures, which shine above all technically through his fine feeling for surface structures - such as skin, fabric or hair. His work has won several awards and has been presented in numerous exhibitions. The artist lives and works in Munich, as well as in a remote exile in the Austrian mountains.
Philipp Liehr's sculptures show supposedly unspectacular, anonymous people, some of whom are clothed and others who are undressing. His repertoire also includes fictional characters from the comic world, mixed creatures, and animals. The mundane has always come into focus more than the heroic. What really defines people beyond social roles? By playing with different proportions, subtle or masked facial expressions and humorous accessories, the figures also reflect a bit on us.
''Superhero'' is a unique sculpture made out of linden wood. The sculpture is mounted on a thin metal plate for stability.

- Lost in reflexionBy Guillaume LachapelleLocated in Montreal, QuebecText by Terence Sharpe There is a moment in Andrei Tarkovsky’s Solaris (1972) when the character Hari commits suicide by drinking liquid oxygen. As she is not actually a human, but an artificial hybrid product of the mysterious planet and the protagonists’ memories, she heals rapidly and is alive again minutes later. Her choice to take her own life is poignant, seemingly the action of a being becoming aware of its hopeless infinitude. Her realization that while the men will die on the space station or elsewhere, her existence is that of immortality, a deeply alienating notion that causes her to seek her own destruction. The Montreal artist Guillaume Lachapelle has one work that prompts a sense of eternal alienation that echoes Hari’s tragedy. The work greets the viewer with a empty doorway flanked by clinically white bookshelves...Category
