The panel paintings "Expanded Metal Tile Paintings" are the closest to the classic art of painting. Firstly glaze is applied by roller brush and a piece of expanded metal onto a block of 4 x 3 clay tiles. Similar as in traditional blueprint with textiles, the expanded is moved across the tiles like a mould. Then the composition drys for a couple of hours before getting fired at 850 degrees celcius. After around 12 hours of firing the tiles are taken out while still glowing and are put in sawdust for a couple of minutes. After cooled down in a wterbasin. This process is called Raku firing and turns the white clay into a magic black appearance. The fnished work bears a haptical sensation, the form resembles calligraphy: the surface's sensuality takes centre stage. The artist goal is a narrative between abstract and figurative painting. Due to our cognitive memory you can discover physical traces of the fence when going close to the work. If you look at it from distance the overlapping and gestural movement will created on the canvas show an abstract composition. Within this series Wolf realized already two lagre scale interior projects for clients. One was installed in a shower and one as wall piece between two balconies. The special approach of the artist allows him to scale his work in every size and due to his practice it always turns out to be a unique masterpiece.
