Roger Löcherbach

The sculptures of Roger Löcherbach are always from one carved trunk.

He prefers to use oak, linden and fruit trees. From the growth habit of the trunk and the branch forks Löcherbach develops the attitude and gestures of his figures. The first processing is done with the chainsaw. Through the elaboration of hands and face, the sculptor creates the expression of a figure and its character – the moment in which the figure receives its unique aura. Now the editing is complete and he can entrust the figure to the room. “For me, man is the subject of my sculptural work. Wood as an organic, living material has a close relationship with humans for me. My characters are in movement, tension but also rest, in struggle, love or even being alone. These are sensations that everyone in life knows.”
