Gross (Rainer)

Rainer Gross, born in Berlin in 1953 and now living in Belgium, began his artwork as a stone sculptor before turning his attention to wood in the mid 1990s. By presenting living, changing, and ephemeral processes, Rainer Gross produces creations with fluid forms, at times graphic, at others organic. While his older works are mainly designed as site-specific art that embraces the forms of its environment, his more recent creations are more contrasting. His light, yet imposing, aerial and rooted constructions offer viewers a new perception of the environment, space, scales, and volumes.
