Andreas Kuhnlein
Aided by the chainsaw he intentionally shapes firmly and coarsely his human pictures whereby the reciprocal action between content and space becomes apparent to the observer. The incision, dissection and undercutting of the wood cleaves and tends to dematerialise the former wooden block. Call it an almost impressionistic game of light and shadow covering the surface of his "human being" and so disposing of their statuesque and also static character.

Andreas Kuhnlein doesn´t work with a chisel, mallet or carving knife, but rather uses a chain-saw on the wood, enabling him to show the protrusions, cuts, disintegrations and grains of the hard wood. Unlike the polychrome sculptures of the expressionists or the art. However he places these natural traits in opposition to his artistic reality which is characterised by his selfreliance.
