Wolfgang is a German-British, mixed-media artist, with a foundation in architecture. He grew up in Germany before relocating to London in his late teens. His experience of living between cultures are central to his artistic practice. Rather than treating identity as something fixed, he explores its fluidity shaped by memory, place, and everyday encounters.

Even something as flat as a drawing on a piece of paper is still a three-dimensional object.’ He cares about all of the components of a piece, because that’s what makes it real.

Touch is fundamental and he is drawn to materials with histories, discarded toys, napkins, hotel bedsheets, objects embedded with stories, becoming silent collaborators in the work.

​‘In architecture, you're forced to think in three dimensions, everything is part of something else and I have carried that with me into art, nothing is just a background; everything matters.’

Wolfgang’s work explores personal and collective space, recording fleeting impressions, physical traces, and emotional states. Each piece reflects a dialogue between material and memory, where process and sensation shape the outcome. Rather than aiming for resolution, his practice values presence, attention, and the quiet unfolding of meaning through making.

The three main threads that weave in and out of his work are child neglect, and the personal/political silences surrounding it. The impact of AIDS on the gay community its legacy on queer identity, memory and resilience. Thirdly, distorted concepts of manners and mannerisms and how early codes of behaviour clash with lived experience.
