Felix Schramm

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Felix Schramm (* 1970 in Hamburg ) is a German sculptor and photographer ; he lives and works in Düsseldorf. Schramm's artistic works address the shift that the artist discusses in various artistic forms within his work. He understands sculpture from its dialectic, from which he generates his spatial forms (installation spatial intervention, sculptures, collages).

After studying sculpture at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence and at the Art Academy in Düsseldorf with Jannis Kounellis and Walter Nikkels , he went on to study in Tokyo and at the Villa Massimo in Rome. The examination of space and body has led to different approaches in Felix Schramm's sculptural work. The artist works in groups of works, which he systematically subdivides through conceptual classification.

The group "Intersection" describes his three-dimensional work, with which he sets in space. These are divided into the subgroups "spatial intersection" and "corporal intersection".

"Spatial intersection" encompasses his spatial installations, which set a position in the given space and thereby describe a breakthrough in it: These spatial structures fall into what is already there and visualize axes of vision along their surfaces and room edges, which only appear when the elements are inserted. The exhibition space becomes an image space. Felix Schramm mostly works with industrially manufactured materials, which, however, appear like an organic plant in his space-forming processes.

"corporal intersection" describes body impressions made of different materials, some of which Schramm further models or brings together sculpturally as duplication or variation.

The group "Multilayer" comprises collages of photographs that Felix Schramm took of his three-dimensional works. The torn, photographic material, when put together, creates two-dimensional, abstract pictorial spaces from torn edges and picture surfaces. The "multilayers" refer to the spatial work and at the same time operate independently on a pictorial level as spatial constructions.

The group "Accumulation" describes works that combine different aspects of the artist's individual groups of works: Schramm's various plastic techniques create a spatial reference system. The free-standing installations in the room can be walked around and read in a dramaturgical sequence. They act as a narrative organism, which in turn sets a position within the space.

Felix Schramm discusses the shift in differentiated pictorial forms: he looks at the whole in its recombined parts, including the axes, the crack, the curvature, the possible direction of the gaze, and also - physically and symbolically - the interface. In Felix Schramm's sculptures and installations, the area around the object is seen as part of the space that describes the object. Schramm creates systems of order that gain their structure through the dissolution of the (architectural) order.
