Ameisenbär displays the mastery of the German sculptors technique. Casting his ant-eater in a series of soft, organic lines Werner Fenn creates a sinuous and supple aesthetic, which highlights the tactility of the work. This clarity of line, also creates a sense of dynamism, as the ant-eater seems, although static, to be about to move. Abstracting his forms Fenn merges the back legs and tail to create a symmetrical silhouette, which reiterates the precision of its contours.
