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 representational depiction, which spread across the entire western world 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, to spray".
The Giclée method is a digital printing process. It is a high-resolution, large-format print produced with an inkjet printer using special different-coloured dye- or pigment-based inks (usually six to twelve). The inks are lightfast, meaning they are resistant to harmful UV light. They provide a high level of nuance, contrast, and saturation.
The Giclée process is suitable for art canvases, handmade paper and watercolour paper as well as silk.
