Weber, born 1967, is a conceptual sculptor who lives and works in Berlin. He is represented by Herald St Gallery (London) as his main gallery. Since 2017 he is professor for sculpture at the University of the Arts in Münster, Germany. Klaus Weber conceives works across a variety of media and spatial units, which are often based on multifaceted technological interconnections and intricately organized production processes. Yet, by purposely manipulating everyday structures, the tracing of deviations and the exploration of the impossible, they undermine the metaphorical and actual power of a functionalist rationality. In doing this, Weber repetitively uses images of nature, and explores the sustainable potential of the untamable in a humorous and anarchic manner.

“My work moves between painting and printmaking, with a focus on bringing the traditio-nal technique of woodcut into a contemporary context. I create surreal landscapes inha-bited by hybrid creatures that invite viewers into a world of thoughts, dreams, and memo-ries. By layering colors, I produce unique prints with a painterly quality – a balance between printmaking and painting. Flora and fauna often play a central role, combined in unexpected ways that create moments of surprise and open up new ways of seeing. As an extension of this practice, I experiment with coated cotton, a surface that resists ab-sorbing color and instead produces a metallic shimmer. In these works, ornamental, plant-like forms unfold in kaleidoscopic, mirrored patterns, independent of traditional perspec-tive. Painterly elements have become increasingly important in my work: I use color ac-cents to strengthen the expressive power of my woodcuts. Another key aspect of my practice is the use of pastel oil crayons, which allow me to create iridescent surfaces with depth and dynamic tension. Shapes, colors, and movements mer-ge into narrative structures that shift between the familiar and the surreal. In this way, I combine classical techniques with a contemporary visual language and invite viewers to explore the layered worlds within my images.” – Inessa Emmer
