Rolf Graf

Rolg Graf (b. 1969 Heiden, Switzerland) studied at the École supérieure d’art visuel in Genf and the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf under Janis Kounellis. His work is a thoroughly heterogenetic, complex synthesis of media and materials. Despite the artist's reluctance to use bold gesture or explicitly explore any one particular "theme", the work develops an investigation into questions of perception, personal identity and analogy. Though Graf often works from personal observations and memories, the works are the result of a reflected process of distancing, allowing access to the outside viewer. He is currently represented by Galerie Ruzicska/Weiss in Düsseldorf and Susanna Kulli in St. Gallen. Rolf Graf lives and works in Berlin.
