ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The amorous play of the Wolpertinger It flits through the Bavarian Forest by night, this shy species. Only very rarely someone gets a glimpse of the Wolpertinger, anyway this mythical creature is known by every child in southern Germany. Probably in the 19th Century taxidermists put preparations of body parts of different species together and sold the resulting Hybrids to astonished tourists. The birth of these unusual creatures should be about 200 years ago and have started with the great "love" between a rabbit and a buck. Based on this love story Anka Büchler creates first colored collages, drawings and later silkscreen prints. Delicate in every way are the new creatures, their skin, their facial expressions, their gesture and their amorous play.
