Artist Information

Tim Curtis -Tim's website

Tim Curtist ArtworkTim received an MFA degree from the University of California, Berkeley. He has participated in many exhibitions and International symposiums. His installations and site-specific projects have been created throughout the United States, Europe and Asia. Curtis uses natural materials that are rare in sculpture. The hovering or floating effects that appear in his works attempt to make heavy matter lighter than air, suggesting that it is spiritually buoyant-a sublime contradiction.​

Johann Feilacher - Johann's website

Feilacher ImageJohann began his first drawings and small sculptures in grammar school in Villach, Austria. Despite his love for sculpture, he earned his medical degree in 1979. He later became the director for the Gugging House of Artists in 1983. He currently works in his studio in Hausleiten, Austria, but has works in Europe and the United States. "Pieces of wood" best describes his work. His art evokes animistic traditions, linking it to the work of primitive tribes in other parts of the world: areas where today nature and growing technical civilization are at war with one another.
