Clemens Wolf declares himself a champion of sensuality: 'I'm really interested in the process of transforming something trivial into a sensual object." The guided coincidence plays a major role in the making of the works. Clemens Wolf has learned to let things happen. His previous work has been stringent and precisely composed. The framed works "Line Drawings" are an example of the new era: ropes and strings dipped in epoxide resin are thrown against a piece of paper and are left to freeze in whatever composition they land in. Color splashes cover the picture: the hand's motion that has landed the rope is palpable and visible.

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.
