Felix Schramm's (b. Hamburg 1970 lives and works in Düsseldorf) sculptural oeuvre reflects a
probing engagement with space and the body. In works in a variety of media including
installations that intervene into a given setting sculptures and collages the artist creates
three-dimensional forms out of classical materials and industrial staples as well as detritus
and dust. Deformations rifts cracks or impurities undermine the existing order in his
constructed formal ensembles allowing novel correspondences in space and interconnections
across time to emerge. The material and its subjection to form are held in a precarious balance
disintegration which is an integral element of Schramm's art paves the way for artistic
assertion and reformulation. The extensive publication gathers works and exhibitions of the
past five years. It is Schramm's first monograph presenting a cross-section of his entire
oeuvre with all bodies of work. Felix Schramm studied at the Accademia di Belle Arti Florence
from 1991 until 1993 and at the Academy of Fine Arts Düsseldorf where he was in Jannis
Kounellis's master class from 1994 until 1998. He rounded out his education with residencies
in Tokyo in 2000 and at Villa Massimo in Rome in 2008.
