Wood-carving-art

How the works of art made of Swiss pine are made in the house

Everywhere in our house you can smell the pleasant resinous scent of stone pine. You will notice the chests, boxes, house blessings, hoods, reliefs, mirrors, etc. carved by our grandfather. The objects have been carpentry and carved in the old handicraft tradition.
The wooden surfaces were decorated with notch cuts (three-arch and line cuts) and bas-relief-like motifs such as flowers, leaves, animals or rosettes. The carvings are left raw and are rarely stained. Beam or ceiling motifs were partly from early eras, such as from Gothic or Baroque and are therefore found in various folk-art museums.
Many pieces of furniture have been faithfully reproduced (hand tines) and carved, including the Oberinntaler or the Nonsberger chest. This wood decor, which can delight our senses and our minds, harbors tension between image and invention, between reality and fantasy. It lets us immerse ourselves in a world that seems long forgotten today.

The visual arts are also at home in the Apart Stotter

Dealing with all forms of visual art has become a matter of course for us. Already at an early age the house owner was interested in art. He is an art educator, an art historian and always takes the pencil or brush in his hand to be a little creative.
In our house, you will be confronted with a wide variety of artistic techniques (watercolor, oil painting, gouache, ink and pencil drawing, etc.). Not everything you see is high quality art. A lot came about in experiments and out of joy in creative action that can make the soul vibrate.
Some works of art by well-known regional artists were also collected, which increased the quality of the exhibited pictures. A motley of naturalistic, abstract, cubist, impressionistic, expressionistic draws the curiosity of the beholder as he walks by or makes him think about it. In this respect, the small, insignificant, inconspicuous art also opens the eyes of the beholder, here not only reduced to the visual stimuli, but heart and mind can be felt as characteristics of being human in art. Art announces to people their right to exist, which reveals the meaning of life to them.

“Art is the window through which people recognize their higher ability” (Giovanni Segantini).
