Armin Göhringer has dedicated himself to the tree wood, as the essential carrier material. He operates the  processing of it to the feasible limits of minimalization. Thus he has reached an incredibly strong expressiveness in his works and has consistently pursued this line for over 25 years. Accordingly, his sculptures also impress with their simple forms.
For a good 15 years he has been creating sculptures in wood, with the theme of "cross-layering". The horizontal and vertical cuts created in the process allow "glimpses of light", which, depending on the angle of view, range from open and transparent to closed and compact.

The wood itself is either left as it is, blackened or whitened. Through the restrained and accentuated coloring, the character of the material wood is thus preserved. However, he continues to develop and in the meantime supplements and varies  his wooden sculptures with expressive works made of paper, combined with wood. The two materials thus enter into a symbiosis:
"They are inseparably intertwined. The paper envelops the wood in a seamless union. The tannic acid of the wood flows into the paper pulp and colors it in warm brown tones." [from the Armin Göhringer "Light Holes" ("Lichtlöcher") catalog.]
