Clemens Wolf (Vienna 1981) was initially active in the street art scene before studying painting at the Linz University of Art. The artist continues to draw his motifs and themes from urban space; buildings, fences or ruins are documented photographically by Wolf and serve as impulses for his work. The artist is particularly interested in fences; they arouse curiosity, create clear boundaries, but are also permeable to the viewer's gaze and provide insight. Wolf does not paint fences exclusively on canvas, but also places them as installations in exhibition spaces. In more recent works, the impulses from the urban environment have taken on new, more abstract forms: A fence, for example, provides a structure that can also be perceived as a pure pattern. Clemens Wolf received a recognition award of the STRABAG Artaward International in 2009.
