Willy Verginer crafts hyperrealistic chiseled wood sculptures.

Willy Verginer was born in Bressanone (BZ) in 1957. He attended the Art Institute of Ortisei, where he studied Painting. After graduation, he worked in various wood sculpture studios in Val Gardena. In the 1980s, starting from the tradition of his valley, he tried to distance himself, by means of autonomous learning, from conventional methods. From 1984 to 1989, he taught at the Professional School of Sculpture of Selva (BZ).

In one of his first personal exhibitions, curated by Danilo Eccher at the Galleria Spatia in Bolzano, he showed abstract works, made of wood with combination of natural materials. The 90s were characterized by profitable exhibitions and the foundation of the Artistic Group Trisma, formed by Walter Moroder, Bruno Walpoth and Willy Verginer. In 2005, he exposed at Galleria Castello in Trento: Verginer changed radically his style and showed figurative sculptures developing an original plastic language combined with an acrylic paint with shades of artificial colors.

In the years 2013-2014, he began a new cycle entitled Baumhaus, shown for the first time in an exhibition at the MAC – Museum of Contemporary Art in Lissone (MB) and, in the same year, at the Biennale Gherdëina with a monumental work entitled Baumhaus. The Ianchelevic Museum in La Louvier (Belgium) invited him for a solo show from March to June 2015. The same year Verginer started with a new series entitled “ Rayuela” and showed it by Gallery Zemack Tel Aviv. Willy Verginer lives and works in Ortisei Italy.
