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.
