Description
Sculptural art expresses itself here through an intimate exploration of the human condition. The figure folds in on itself. This protective gesture evokes vulnerability. The body wraps itself in a fetal posture.
The work relies on the use of laminated wood. This material undergoes a cycle of destruction and then reconstruction to achieve its final stability. This technical transformation becomes a vector of meaning.
The gaze is drawn to the joints. The artist uses red glue to mark the points of assembly. These colored lines highlight the structure and sign the creation.
Anatomical precision meets a contemporary dimension. The pure aesthetic contrasts with the fragility of the subject. The volume is inscribed in a search for balance between strength and fragility. This piece created in 2025 combines traditional know-how and current questioning. The smooth finish of the wood accentuates the softness of the organic curves.
Presentation
The ability to give expression to the human form, to transmit and translate its language is an ability, which the sculptor Mario Dilitz definitely has. He combines traditional sculptural knowledge and technical skills with contemporary issues and thereby manages to create sculptures of great intensity and appeal. His work does polarize. There is a strong contrast between the aesthetic beauty of his sculptures and the content of the issues, where a profound confrontation with the vagaries of human existence takes place.
On the one hand Mario Dilitz manifests the contradictions occuring in human nature, on the other hand he manages to unite them in his work. Even his choice of material reveals these contradictions. His sculptures, most of them lifesized, are created out of high quality laminated wood. After a process of destruction and then construction the wood has reached a new form of stability, which wouldn't have been possible in its natural condition. This process is made visible by the joints of glue in the laminated wood. Mario Dilitz chooses red glue thereby signing his creations unmistakably.
Dilitz now works and lives in Axams nearby Innsbruck and Munich.
