Knopp Ferro creates his delicate sculptures in his studio in Munich, which he describes as a think tank. For Ferro, the creation of his apparently weightless structures embodies a kind of three-dimensional drawing. His works of art free themselves from any fixed structure and the fine network of iron lines conquers the three-dimensional space. Even the most gentle breeze of air sets both the sculptures and the viewer's imagination in motion. The viewer’s perception and viewing habits are questioned by the constant change in the fleeting images and shadows that the structures create.
Depending on the series, Ferro's works are installed on a ceiling or wall or are freestanding in the room. In addition, knife drawings are also part of his oeuvre, in which fine cuts in a subtle order determine the sheet.
In the 1970s, Ferro studied sculpture and performance in Cologne and became visible through the actions of the artist collective Jet Ferro at Art Basel and Documenta 6. Various forms of artistic expression such as theatre, fluxus, dance, punk and circus influenced Ferro’s early work in performance. Ferro always understood creating art as a merging of different roles: that of a musician, an actor and author. After a stay abroad in New York in the 1990s, he then devoted himself to the implementation of his ideas for spatial sculptures. For Ferro, the origin of the longing for artistic creation was always based on three-dimensionality. Subsequently, this resulted in a curiosity for performances and from this in turn a tendency to work sculpturally. His spatial sculptures are now exhibited in numerous public collections worldwide and Ferro is represented internationally by various galleries
