Walter Pancheri lives and works in St. Ulrich in South Tyrol and comes from a long line of woodcarvers. In his work, he combines this traditional craftsmanship with a contemporary artistic language: a specially developed printing process on wood creates relief-like surfaces that oscillate between painting, printmaking, and sculpture. Only up close do their fine structures and multifaceted details reveal themselves.
