Echoes of Being: Solo exhibition by Peter Demetz

27 March - 22 May 2025
Overview
We are delighted to announce the opening of Echoes of Being, the second solo exhibition of internationally acclaimed sculptor Peter Demetz at Impulse Gallery, on the March 27th from 18:00 - 21:00! A master of realistic wood sculpture, Demetz returns to Lucerne with ten exclusive new works commissioned for this exhibition.

Recognized as one of the foremost wood sculptors working today, Peter Demetz is celebrated for his exquisitely hand-carved figures, capturing human subjects in moments of introspection. His sculptures depict individuals seemingly suspended in time—caught between movement and stillness, thought and action. While the details of his figures are astonishingly intricate, down to the delicate folds of clothing, facial contours, and even individual strands of hair, their surroundings remain minimalist and abstract.

In Echoes of Being, Demetz juxtaposes precise realism with stark simplicity, exploring presence, absence, and perception. This profound meditation on human existence draws you into a world where time slows and silence resonates.

Join us for the opening on 27 March from 18:00 to 21:00 and meet the artist in person. RSVP below to attend this exclusive event and immerse yourself in the remarkable work of Peter Demetz.
