Reinhard Fescharek is a German sculptor.
During the 1980s, he was influenced by his past experiences in West Africa, which stimulated him to a more attentive and spiritual observation of nature. From here, he began to approach the art of sculpture and in particular the material of wood. His artworks are mainly inspired by the natural world and evoke primitive figurations. <<Wood has the peculiarity of having been a living being before the encounter with the hand of man and his tools; its memory, its life and its past are imprinted within its structure.>>
Fesharek listens to it and evolves its form, intervening in a more or less intense manner, to revive its hidden history with extreme sensitivity.
<<My attitude to woodworking is one of ‘Respect’. There is an inner, natural beauty within this material, which is not perfection and does not need to be. Mine is an attempt to safeguard it and make it shine.>>
Reinhard Fescharek’s career counts numerous exhibitions at galleries and fairs in Germany, Belgium, France, Spain and Austria and the realisation of various commissioned artworks, including the creation of therapeutic gardens and green spaces.
