Philipp Messner

Philipp Messner is an Italian-born German artist and sculptor who lives and works in Munich.

He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna and the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Messner has become known for his installations with colored snow and sculptures, such as those with magnetized powder. The artist uses the phenomenon of magnetism, changing the sculptures and transforming them into something new: a wooden log covered with iron powder goes into the third state and thus opens to a completely different reading of nature and technology. Messner uses various found objects in his work: branches, stones, boxes, lamps, paper, mask, etc., wrapped in magnetized material and coated with iron powder.
