Gerd Kanz was born in Erlangen/Germany in 1966 and studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Nuremberg with Professors Scharl (Master's student) and Grützke. Between 1989 and 1998, Kanz received several prizes and the Ebernburg grant from the state of Rhineland-Palatinate. The artist lives and works near Coburg in Germany and on the island of Crete.
His sculptures evoke architectural structures, such as doors and windows, often superimposed on one another. Structures that evoke elements of another time, Roman arches, or Gothic ogives. The use of colors and patinas, and the unusual structures of his works, make the encounter with his sculptures a visual experience.
