About The Artist


My Name is Georg Cornelius Freundorfner. I was born on 17.04.1951 in Bad Waldsee . Raised in Radolfzell on Lake Constance. I have since 2008 a studio in Meersburg (Lake Constance). With the beginning of the 4th Year of life , I learned carving with my grandfather Kornel Freundorfner. ( He was first Wagner, then a carpenter and carved in winter Madonnas and wooden shoes. Besides, he was a musician ) . My father accompanied me in this tradition. He constructed Christmas scenes in winter. ( He was a farmer and in the winter forest worker). I had my first exhibition 1988 in Stuttgart. Then Expos followed in Tübingen, Zurich and Munich. For 12 years I organized a cultural festival in Salem for other artists (music, literature, theater and visual arts) . Contacts with Dr. Jean Triolet ( Royal Academy of Brussels) and Daniel Moreau and Gustaf Baumeister ( Relates to Willi Baumeister) promoted my work as a sculptor. Gustaf Baumeister said , for example, about my work : "Georg C. Freundorfer knows like no other to document the moods, and the beauty of nature. He integrates these diverse creations unique in its art. Every single production of his sculpture is a unikat of the extra-class. International prizes and awards document the high artistic value of his sculptures and the leading position of the wood sculptor Freundorfner in the heart of Europe." Gustaf Georg Baumeister 2007 buyer of 2 Sculptures "Our visit by George C. Freundorfer and his sculptures has impressed us and has left strong traces of thought. His sculptures are "inspired" in their appearance and attitude. I know similar works only in Egyptian Art. The ancient Egyptians created "living sculptures". These sculptures were placed in a mouth and eye opening ritual prepared so that they could absorb the souls of people and also of the sacred animals. (Replacement bodies). There are no other civilizations that could practiced something similar. The sculptures of Georg are incredibly strong and would be almost alive in its kind. The ancient Egyptians would have joy in his works."
