For more than 20 years, the sculptor Werner Neuhaus has been living and working in canton Bern, in the upper Emmental. Previously at Moosegg above Signau, and, today, in Zollbrück. The raw material that he exclusively works with is wood – hard and heavy oak wood. Out of this raw material, Neuhaus creates willful forms and figures. Some of them are monumental that dominant entire rooms, others are as filigree as the material and his tool, the chainsaw, barely allow. Nature, animals and raw life constitute Neuhaus`world. For many years, he spent the summers in the Swiss Alps as a herdsman or „Senn“, as the alpine cheesemaker is called in Switzerland. Here, the cows determined the structure and flow of his day and a black sheperd was his loyal companion. Now, Werner Neuhaus has settled down on „the Wanner“, a small farm in the midst of steep pastures and forest patches, above Zollbrück, in the canton Bern. The cow and the wolf – here, they appear as close friends. And the marks of the chainsaw compose their fur.
