Benjamin Planitzer is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice centers on carving monumental forms from massive blocks of wood. What began as a childhood fascination with hammering and dismantling has evolved into a precise, meditative process where patience, repetition, and physical labor shape each work. The wood he uses comes exclusively from his immediate surroundings, within a small radius of his home. Each tree is carefully selected with certified foresters and felled for necessary forestry reasons, not artistic demand. By knowing the exact origin of every tree, often down to its coordinates, Planitzer treats wood not as anonymous material, but as something with history, place, and dignity. ❤️🌳 Artist: @benjamin_planitzer #art #wood #sculpture #artist #craft
