In Rübeland (Harz, Germany) it's possible to meet an artist in deep  
black robe. His art is
related    to profound-human and also decorative, organic forms.
Remo Sorge was born in the town of Wernigerode on 17.09.1980, so he's  
quite young in
contrast to his present creations.
He spent his childhood in a small cottage near the "Rappbode"-dam in a  
small forest.
Surely this enviroment left forming impressions for his later work as  
an artist.
His grandfather sparked the interest in the technique of wooden  
sculpture. In the age of 13,
Remo began carving branches, and interested himself a lot for history  
and other unusual
interests for that age.
Since he was 16, he went to a special school for the special gifted  
next to his normal
education,and propelled by his quite stict parents he also took  
courses in the artistic
sector.
And so he was accomodated by a scool of wooden sculpture in Bavaria in  
the age of 16.
Next to school of arts, his first bole-work was created.
After his successful graduation of his studies in art, he worked for a  
wooden-sculpture
foreman for one year and afterwards he went to the army. Resulting  
from his experiences in
the army, he refused the swearing-in ceremony for the German  
"Bundeswehr". And so he went to
alternative civilian service.
Several personal blows of fate took him to a phase in his life that  
was affected by lyrics
and reflectiveness, but soon he mastered this by inspirations and new  
creative power.
In 2003, he settled in Rübeland and opened an exhibition space for his  
work. He was also
able to use several other ateliers with the selfless help of others.
Here, the most impressive works of Sorge were created. For example the  
"second face".
One year later, Sorge caused the foundation of a centre for arts and  
culture in the near
Blankenburg and the reconstruction of the old power house building.  
More and more, he
combines lyrics with the created sculptures and gets more abstract,  
but is still geared to
natural and aesthetic proportion.
Sorge's real ability, if you look on his creations up to now, is not  
only in his advancement
to more and more abstraction or in the growing size of his sculptures.  
It's the obvious
variety of his subjects worked on and his ability to combine the  
techniques he learned in
his hitherto life.
Whether furniture in a modern or classic style, other fixtures  
straightened to effectivity
but also decorative or lifesize sculptures with a lot of personal  
history or at least great depth.
