Manfred Kielnhofer 's Timeguards, the Foundation's newest arrivals, cut imposing figures in the Cass Sculpture Foundation's woodland setting. This sinister group evokes many genres, from fantasy to mythology and the gothic, as a result of their sombre, shrouded forms. These necromantic figures, based upon the ancient theme of the 'time guardian,' depict beings from another realm who, in ancient cultures and civilisations, would have been deemed responsible for paranormal goings-on.
The human form is central to Manfred Kielnhofer 's artistic practice. He is preoccupied with the body's various forms and movements which he appropriates through a number of mediums, from canvas to installations and performance works. Manfred Kielnhofer 's work has been exhibited throughout his native Austria and has featured in exhibitions in New York and Miami. Timeguards represents Manfred Kielnhofer 's sculptural debut in the UK.
