Dietrich Klinge

Artist Dietrich Klinge is one of the most established German artists. In his art works, he aspires the presentation and the visualization of the variety of the human being and human body. He realizes this with a gesture, which has an expressive appeal. Most of his works are figures poured out of bronze from a mould, which is partly made out of weathered wood. Thereby, the bronze transports the aura and the open surface character of the old wood. For example, this dealing with the material stands for the variability and ultimately for the evanescence of any earthly existence, too.

His work experiences an exceptional intensity based on the expression of these figures. They are not typed works, which represent a certain culture, but they appear like a cultural overarching, almost archaic seeming entities, which don't fit in the human made borders of a possible culture circle.
