Material and Light A Lecture by: Udo W. Rutschmann (May 2012)

Process based artistic exploration of materials in interplay with light.


German artist Udo Rutschmann has created his own distinctive visual language. A language that combines the simplicity of form with the sophistication of abstract interpretation.He works with various materials often in using light to reveal their intrinsic atmospheric qualities.

Born in 1967 in Germany, Udo Rutschmann holds a BA (HOns) in Architecture from the London Metropolitan University and an MFA in Sculpture from the University of Arts and Social Sciences in Bonn, Germany.

The influence of Udo's architectural and sculpture practice can be felt both in his meticulous artistic procedure, planning and forethought and in his highly considered use and treatment of materials .All resulting in works that challenge us to view events we ordinarily might take for ranted through the artist's lens of heightened observation and distilled elegance.
