EN
Born on 29.09.72 in Vipiteno (BZ).
He attended the art school in Selva/Val Gardena and the Academy of Fine Arts in Nuremberg. He has lived and worked in Selva/Val Gardena since 1999. For years Aron Demetz has concentrated his attention on the human figure, on contemporaries, on people around him, but frozen in poses of ancient portraiture or in bizarre (unnatural) postures. In the series of Homo Erectus, the artist deals with the consciousness of the upright walking human being and how he deals with his primitive nature. There are three smooth, almost crouching bronze figures which Aron Demetz gives the appearance of prehistoric man.

Frequenta la Scuola Professionale di Selva Val Gardena e l'Accademia di Arti Figurative di Norimberga. Vive e lavora a Selva Val Gardena dal 1999. Da anni Aron Demetz concentra la sua attenzione sulla figura umana, su personaggi contemporanei, ma congelati in pose dalla ritrattistica antica o immobilizzati in bizzarri atteggiamenti. Nella serie dell' Homo Erectus l'artista percorre a ritroso il processo di consapevolezza dell'uomo e ricerca nelle origini la sua definizione nel tempo presente.
