Born 1959 in Weissenbach am Lech (Austria), he lives in Innsbruck (Germany).
"I feel like a kind of 'hoover' sucking in images and emotions from the world. I transform these images and emotions into dream work."
Elmar Trenkwalder uses visions of landscapes, people and architecture and turns them into physical objects, whether as modelled sculptures, ceramics, drawings or paintings. mixing surrealism and baroque, he turns purely mental images into material entities.
Invited to occupy the upper rooms of the espace EDF-Bazacle, Elmar Trenkwalder produced a new monumental work for the occasion, WVZ 168.
Produced by Fondation Electricité de France, Paris.
