Hermetic
visual artist Wilhelm
Staehle
lives in a small, dark place alongside taxidermied creatures. The
creepy yet intriguing Staehle, who was a former art director for book
publisher Harper Collins, has turned cutting simplistic silhouettes
that strike through the usual layers with wit and verity into his
profession.
« Wilhelm
Staehle is a horribly disfigured gentleman who often frightens small
children when passing by. While hermitting himself in his sprawling
estate on the western coast of the Americas, he divides
his free time between sporting for fox
hunters and dressing his broad collection of taxidermy. He also finds
time to craft silhouettes. He begs you to enjoy them. Or at least
refrain from informing him if you do not. »
