About the artist
Andreas Senoner began his artistic training at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence (2001–2006) and continued his studies at the Facultad de Bellas Artes San Carlos in Valencia, Spain (2003–2004). In 2006, he was awarded a scholarship to the Minneapolis College of Art and Design (USA), where he further developed his sculptural practice and explored the relationship between material and space.
Throughout his career, Senoner has developed an artistic language defined by wood sculpture and a particular attention to materiality and the presence of the body. His residencies at international institutions - from SAFFCA in Brussels (2024) to the Skaftfell Center for Visual Art in Iceland (2022), via KKV Luleå in Sweden (2021) and Palazzo Monti in Italy (2019) - testify to his desire to experiment and engage with diverse artistic contexts. These experiences have allowed him to combine formal exploration with cultural dialogue on an international scale.
His work has been presented in numerous solo and group exhibitions worldwide.
He exhibited at the 54th Venice Biennale, Italian Pavilion (2011).
In 2020 he took part in the exhibition Two Cultures and Space at the Qingdao Sculpture Art Museum (China); in 2021 he inaugurated a solo show at the Francesco Messina Museum in Milan and, in 2022, participated in Francesco Messina - Novecento Contemporaneo at Villa Torlonia, Rome.
In 2023 he exhibited at the Jewish Museum of Bologna, and in 2025 at Palazzo Krainer in Gorizia (IT), on the occasion of Gorizia European Capital of Culture.
He has also taken part in numerous contemporary art fairs, including Arte Fiera Bologna, Scope Basel, Art Paris, London Art Fair, Art Brussels, and PAN Amsterdam.
These events reflect Senoner’s focus on the human dimension and timelessness in his work, as well as his ongoing dialogue between sculpture, drawing, and exhibition space.
Today, Andreas Senoner continues to develop a unique practice in which wood becomes a medium of memory and poetry, and each work engages a sensitive dialogue between material, body, and viewer. His sculptures and drawings, imbued with subtlety and reflection, invite a contemplative and immersive experience, placing observation and imagination at the heart of the encounter with art.
