Kurt Laurenz Metzler

Metzler’s mother warned him that sculpture was an unstable business, so he decided to become an architectural draftsman, decorator, and photographer.

In the same year he participated in the 3rd Swiss Sculpture Triennale in Bad Ragaz and Vaduz, for which he was the technical director, and where he also took part in the first two shows.

The exhibition was curated by art critic Vittorio Sgarbi and praised by Milan mayor Letizia Moratti.

For Christmas 2009 Metzler, collocated his touring exhibition "Nevrotici Metropolitani" into the "Piazza Basilica Inferiore" in Assisi.

The idea came from Zucchero "Sugar" Fornaciari, the headliner of the evening along with many other artists and celebrities from the worlds of sport and entertainment.

On occasion of the Teatro del Silenzio, the worldwide famous Andrea Bocelli concert, which took place on 25 July 2010, he created the stunning 14-metre monumental sculpture of a modernistic star as well as the metallic human figures in bright crayola colors that peopled the stone walls of the open-air theatre, and also graced the rooftops and piazza in Lajatic.

[1] His opinionated sculptures are made of materials that are heavy, but seem to be light when seen in the definitive work (Marble, Bronze, Iron, Aluminium).

Newer are the motifs Zeitungsleser (Newspaper), Stadtneurotiker (City-neurotics), Cities, Golf players or giant people.
