Silvia Hatzl @ Rosenfeld Porcini Gallery

Rosenfeld Porcini are delighted to announce Silvia Hatzl’s inaugural UK show A Fragile Existence. Following from her recent success at Museum am Dom Wurzburg in Germany the exhibition will showcase her sculptural clothing, busts and heads, which explore the illusion of clothing as a concealment of human nakedness. Silvia Hatzl creates sculptures which are often highly theatrical and resemble recognisable forms, created from varying natural materials including linen, silk, cotton, paper and even animal intestines. As a result the works often reveal, in part or in whole, a heightened sense of transparency. The forms range from childlike in their scale to far larger than life, so that an installation of her work resembles a silent, ethereal group of living people, covering all the possible ages of man.
