Brilliant Hues: The Power of Red & Gold

Alfred Haberpointner (b.1966)
Born in 1966 in Ebenau, Austria, Alfred Haberpointner studied at the School of Sculpture in
Hallein and at the University of Design in Linz with professor Erwin Reiter. He now lives and works
in Leonding, Austria. He works using wood as his primary medium harnessing all its nuances
and shades. His works are on the one hand figuratively recognisable and comprehensible, and
on the other hand remain arrested in their abstract geometry. Whether he shrouds his wooden
heads with lead or pierces them with pins, the underlying wood form always remains visible. In
1990 Haberpointner received the Award of the Academy of Art and Industrial Design in Linz,
Austria and in 1997 he received the Theodor Körner Prize for the Promotion of Science and Art.
