Clemens Wolf's Expanded Paintings introduce a new aspect to his practice. The process involves applying red oil paint through expanded metal onto blue paper, creating gestural abstractions with an almost relief-like surface. The works are framed in alternating combinations of red or blue, emphasizing the materiality of the paint and the tactile imprint of the metal.
While Wolf’s process inherently involves repetition, the resulting works retain their individuality and energy, embodying the physicality of their creation. This reflection on transience and the documentation of architectural relics permeates Wolf's entire artistic practice and lends the series a conceptual depth.

Clemens Wolf (*1982) originates from street art and has developed a practice that addresses the aesthetics of decay and transformation. His works—spanning painting, sculpture, and installation—investigate the interplay between material permanence and visual deception. Drawing on elements such as fences, ruins, or city maps, Wolf creates works that blur the boundaries between subcultural aesthetics and contemporary art. He challenges the materiality of his chosen mediums by transforming steel into delicate forms or paper into objects with unexpected weight, revealing tensions between materiality and its perception. Clemens Wolf lives and works in Vienna.
