In his work, Albrecht Schäfer deals with simple architectural situations or everyday objects and materials that are alienated with reduced means. At first glance, this often gives rise to room installations, objects, drawings and videos that look abstract and generate unusual poetic associations.

Albrecht Schäfer has been working primarily in the medium of painting since 2014 .
