Artistic influences and techniques

Klaus Bareis’ creative background is diverse. Born in 1952 in Rottweil am Neckar, he graduated from1975 to 1980his studies at theState Academy of Fine Arts Stuttgart. His thesis was on the topic of “tension” and continues to shape his artistic style to this day. Bareis is not only known for his three-dimensional clay objects, which are created through the use of found pieces of wood and metal, but also for his drawing preparation and follow-up work. These are usually done in pencil drawings that emphasize the formal properties of the found objects or design new sculptures.

Bareis' works go beyond classical sculptures. Drypoint etchings based on his own photographic impressions also show his versatility. Another highlight are the figurative-looking wooden finds, which are processed into impressive wing figures.
