About the Artist, Hans Weissflog:
Hans Weissflog’s work appeared on the woodturning scene in the early 1990s, creating a sensation. Weissflog’s small, intricate box forms were linked to traditions and approaches that had little in common with the bowls and vessels predominating the field and his technical mastery and design sense amazed viewers in person and in print. Weissflog began to explore bowl forms in the mid-90s. His approach married the techniques and design elements of his smaller forms to create a distinctive body of work. Weissflog received the highest honor for a German craft artist, The Lower Saxony State Award in 1994.
Weissflog’s more recent work has explored the juxtaposition between raw, organic aspects of wood with the highly controlled, detailed approach that he is best known for. His work raises the bar technically and expands the potential of the wood medium. Weissflog is increasingly interested in showing that shape and has no limitations.
