ROLF KLUENTER

Rolf Kluenter has recently been selected to participate in several important art biennials, including the Paper Biennial at Museum Rijswijk & Museum Apeldoorn in the Netherlands, the Shanghai Biennial and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Shanghai biennial. Rolf Kluenter has also exhibited his work at museums and galleries throughout the world.

Rolf Kluenter is an artist who is full of energy, inspiration and seemingly limitless ideas. He himself has had a wide range of influences in his life. He was born in Germany and grew up there then moved to Katmandu, Nepal, where he spent over 15 years and finally settled in Shanghai for the past 7+ years, where he has married a Shanghainese woman. Rolf Kluenter has spent more than half of his life in Asia. The special black paper Rolf Kluenter uses is still all produced in Nepal and shipped to the artist. Rolf Kluenter explains that black is the ultimate non-colour, the ultimate void. While white is all colours combined, black indicates the absence of light, the very thing which reflects colour in our eyes.
