Description
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 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 Celsius. 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 cooling down in a water basin. This process is called Raku firing and turns the white clay into a magic black appearance. The finished work bears a haptic sensation, the form resembles calligraphy: the surface's sensuality takes center stage. The artist's 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 a distance the overlapping and gestural movement will created on the canvas show an abstract composition. Within this series Wolf realized already two large scale interior projects for clients. One was installed in a shower and one as a wall piece between two balconies. The special approach of the artist allows her to scale her work in every size and due to his practice, it always turns out to be a unique masterpiece. The organic surfaces of Wolf's work, with their vibrant colors and glossy finish, evoke a sense of decomposition and decay while retaining a polished elegance. The lightweight, airborne nature of parachutes introduces themes of gravity and suspension, merging fragility with permanence. Clemens Wolf's work focuses on transformation, with a particular interest in discarded parachutes—an homage to his passion for parachuting. These parachutes are coated in epoxy resin, carefully folded, and set into circular frames, sculptures, or canvases, creating a unique blend of painting, sculpture, and drawing.

Presentation
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.
