Expanded Metal Pigment Paintings
For these paintings, Wolf uses expanded metal as a brush and thus creates abstract paintings. The irretrievable moment is found here in the expressive painting process. Also, he adds pigment powder onto these works which he calls “Expanded Metal Pigment Painting” as a reference to the process. The question of figuration and abstraction plays a central role in both groups of works.

Clemens Wolf (born in 1981 in Vienna) studied painting with Ursula Hübner at the University of Art and Design Linz. In his artistic work, he deals with the capturing of irreproducible moments. At the beginning of this involvement stood the urban space with its ruins and fences. Wolf captured the beauty of decay and transience in large, monochrome landscape paintings. Wolf has had exhibitions in China, Switzerland, France, Germany and the USA. He is represented internationally by several galleries and is part of renowned collections such as the Albertina Museum.
