It is with graceful irreverence that Teo Mahlknecht approaches sculpting by combining his notable techniques with a touch of humorous irony: a rooster is marked by a tire track that has rendered it flat and thus part of the asphalt, a goose crashes into glass and its feathers are scattered all around like confetti ad Carneval, a curious mouse makes a comical stopper for a bottle as well as the chubby cow with its exaggerated udders hanging about! This is his animal kingdom where reinterpretation by playful creativity reign. With remarkable precision in his workmanship, and astounding perception for the absurd combinations, Teo Mahlknecht has successfully created an original technique as well as other suggestions for design, toys or simple inventions that observe the Gardena traditions.
