About Rolf Behm
Rolf Behm, born in 1952 in Karlsruhe, Germany, studied at the Karlsruhe Art Academy under Prof. P. Ackermann and Prof. Markus Lüpertz, as well as at St. Martins School of Art under John Hoyland in London.
His works depict surfaces and bodies in space. Rolf Behm's painting is dominated by a colourfulness in which the other elements of the work seem to float. He combines landscape as well as organic elements into a painterly style, inviting the viewer's thoughts to immerse in a "sea of colour". Rolf Behm incorporates fragments from his experiences into the pictures, blending his world with the world of the viewer in a life-affirming and positive way.
The artist lives and works in Berlin and Brazil.
Term for paintings and sculptures that are detached from the representational depiction, which spread throughout the entire western and parts of the eastern world from around 1910 onwards in ever new stylistic variations. The Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky, born in 1866, is considered the founder of abstract art. Other important artists of abstract art are K.S. Malewitsch, Piet Mondrian, and others.
Giclée = derived from the French verb gicler "to squirt, spurt".
The giclée method is a digital printing process. It is a high-resolution, large-format printout on an inkjet printer with special different-coloured dye- or pigment-based inks (usually six to twelve). The colours are fade-proof, i.e. resistant to harmful UV light. They have a high richness of nuance, contrast and saturation.
The giclée process is suitable for art canvases, handmade and watercolour paper as well as for silk.
