Anatomia Humana is an exhibition that examines the body’s contradictions - its force and its fragility, inviting us to consider what it means to be human. Through diverse media - painting, drawing, collage, sculpture, photography - 23 contemporary artists contemplate flesh, bones and psyche, revealing the strange and often uncomfortable truths of life.
Together, Werring’s sculptures, paintings, and monoprints form a cohesive exploration of duality and transformation. His works invite viewers into a space where the familiar becomes unfamiliar, where boundaries between forms dissolve, and where meaning is discovered in spaces that often go unnoticed.

“… (the paintings are) tough and put together with a cool lightness of hand which conceals the lucid pictorial intelligence which has gone into their making.”
This new body of paintings combines aerial landscapes and floating shapes - figuration, colour-fields, texture and abstraction. ‘Kites' are seen from above - painted with brush, roller and airbrush. They are textured and evidence process and changes in direction through overlapping layers. They show clean, machine-like fades and colour blocks that overwrite thoughts, mistakes and past potential futures.
