Klaus Schröder

The sculptor Klaus Schröder, Born in 1953, presents a series of works with the matter wood and iron in dialogue, where he uses the creative means of reflection. The different expression of wood and iron Schroeder compensates with the proportions. His abstract work avoids any possibillity of association and is dedicated to the sculpture itself as a form of expression.

Reflections
Klaus Schröder is known for his mastery of the balancing act mastery of the balancing act between painting and sculpture. His works range from free-standing wooden sculptures to wooden reliefs and combinations of wood and metal, both as floor sculptures and wall objects. What all the works have in common is that the sculptor avoids any surface of association and explores the and explores the possibilities offered by sculpture as an art form in itself. There is no reference to postures or mimetic expression, but the compositions can be perceived sensitively through impressions of lability and static. In contrast to many contemporary sculptors, Klaus Schröder turns to the unspectacular and explores unspectacular and explores the more classical sculptural form through the varied interplay of through the varied interplay of leaving and working. Characteristic are the stronger traces of treatment and a ‘rough’ surface. Here, the wood is not planed and smoothed, but retains its natural character to a large extent.
