They come from a family of artists (Aron and Gerhard are cousins, moreover) and decline realist sculpture according to three different visions: Peter sticks to an evocative and exciting hyperrealism that captures his characters in fragments of everyday life, Aron focuses on the action of time, nature and man on things (and on man himself) by introducing burns and abrasions, and Gerhard, whose favorite subjects are children (his production abounds in child portraits), using non-finishing as his signature technique, intends to reflect on the processes of formation and transformation, with particular reference to the changes in the human soul.
Then there are many artists from younger generations, often pupils of the masters mentioned above. The Trento exhibition thus features the works of Giorgio Conta (Cles, 1978), son of Livio, author of a particular reinterpretation of traditional sacred-themed sculpture but also of scenes taken from the ordinary (his only work on display belongs to this case), by Matthias Sieff (Cavalese, 1982), who interprets the human body by dilating the volumes and likening the structure of the body to that of a building and who is presented in Trento with two sculptures, and by the three Demetzs, Peter (Bolzano, 1969), Aron (Vipiteno, 1972) and Gerhard (Bolzano, 1972).

Closing the exhibition are the youngest artist on display, Fabiano De Martin Tropanin (Padola di Comelico, 1984), with his works intended to enhance the expressiveness of his subjects, Peter Senoner (Bolzano, 1970), an artist who has lived for long periods of time on three different continents and who sums up his experiences to give life to an art whose bizarre protagonists seem to come from other dimensions, and finally Andreas Senoner (Bolzano, 1982), who deals with alienation, difficulties and the sense of man’s disorientation in contemporary society.
