preface
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 li fe. He was born in Germany and grew up there. But after Rolfs graduation, instead of going toNew York and doing what was expected of him, he chose to forge his own path and moved to Katmandu, where he
spent over 15 years. The influence that his life in Nepal has had on him is very apparent in Rolfs work, not only from
the Nepalese paper that he uses in much of his work, but also conceptually. The artist has also spent the past 7+ years
in Shanghai, where he has married a Shanghainese woman, adding even more Asian influence on the artists life. Rolf
Kluenter has spent more than half of his life in Asia, and we sometimes joke that he is now more Asian than German!
Rolf is an innovator. He is an artist who will probably never stop experimenting with new media. When visiting his studio,
one never knows what amazing inspirations Rolf will have recently had. He is not afraid and does not hesitate to try
new things, which is the mother of creativity and invention. In fact, a good artist is always looking for something new,
something different to express. And Rolf is certainly that way. For example, the artist has recently been experimenting
with using stainless steel, wires and bulbs and even womens lipstick as media for his work. Rolf is probably the first
artist to use old Nepalese black manuscripts within his artworks; he subsequently even developed the medium even
further, and it is now something unique to Rolf.
The special black paper Rolf uses is still all produced in Nepal and shipped to the artist. Rolf 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. Rolf is fascinated with the colour black, and sometimes cuts out star-like
shapes within the void to indicate the existence of the physical within the tremendous amount of nothingness that is
space. The black nothingness is also interwoven together in a kind of three-dimensional way, so that it becomes
impossible to tell the beginning or the end of the void. Clearly, this series of work indicates Rolfs deep philosophical
reflection on existence.
It is ironic that after a long career of experimenting with so many different media, Rolf has only recently, for the first time,
begun painting with the traditional medium of oil on canvas. Even the artist himself laughed at how ironic it is that he
is finally using such a normal medium. Yet the layered abstract paintings are closely related to his black paper work.
Rolfs oil paintings still balance nothingness with the physical world, as Rolf has 3-dimensionalized the canvas by paint-
ing abstract layer upon layer.

This current series of Rolf A. Kluenters work invites us to consider the big questions: the nature of self, the nature of
the universe in which we find ourselves, and the relationship between them. The central theme of these paintings is not
to capture some kind of abstract reality, life, as it is, but instead to explore the processes of creation and the creative
process in and of itself. Kluenter is captivated by the verb to transpire, to cause something to happen, to go beyond,to cross something, to inspire. The purpose of his work is to demonstrate or to cause some kind of tension, since this,
in his mind, will cause something to transpire. Kluenter is interested by the idea that beyond memory, there is something
more, something non-material but nevertheless, very real. It is this beyond-ness of things that his work is trying to
expose. As something happens, or transpires, it passes into our memory, where this process of creation keeps devel-
oping. Nothing is finite and nothing has an end; one event is transformed and so leads on to something else. Even as
this occurrence becomes memory, this course of transpiration continues in our minds. Kluenter talks in depth about
how, in his mind, his works have their own life force, their own independent impetus. As a temporal process, the crea-
tion of a painting takes on an autonomy that exists separate to the artists original intention. He talks about how he is
physically unable to copy one of his own paintings since he is unable to duplicate the creative process that gave birth
to the piece. The process of creation, therefore, is something that is dynamic and in itself ever-changing, as part as a
universally dynamic and ever-changing world.
Firstly, this then raises the issue of experience and assessment of that experience in the inevitably illusory and unreliable

nature of the sensory world. How, then, are we able to perceive and thus to comprehend our world and ourselves? To
be able to know, we must first find a way to perceive in a true and real sense that which we wish to know. As Rolf A.
Kluenter points out, in scientific theorisation, this is attempted by the application of modelling. Science puts forward
theories to explain the physical phenomenon around us, models that are then meant to be able to calculate (predict) fu-
ture configurations of said phenomena. These new forms of science that attempt this exercise, such as biotechnology,nuclear physics and nano-technology, are based entirely on secondary research. They analyse indications and prod-
ucts of these phenomenon since the matter that they are endeavouring to examine and explain, cannot be observed
by our senses. Thus, there is no true evidence for these explanations of our universe.
This endeavour began as early as the Renaissance with men trying to explain and thereby control the universe around
them through the use of models or theorization. It is the idea of the black box: we do not know what is happening
inside, we can only examine and interpret its output, and memory functions in much the same way. These paintings
are the simultaneous output of both the artists individual memory and our collective memory; tied as we are in the web
which in culture, society and the human environment.
These canvases are a picture of the world, and are gathered from the idea of the ideal world model. If the knowledge of
the material world is conjecture, conversely, knowledge of our soul and of our emotions is something that is more solid.
This leads to the conclusion that through emotion we can know ourselves.

The tensions in Kluenters work are what drive the pieces, since this tension sparks the dynamic process. One of the
most important tensions is in his use of palate: black, white and grey. We must stop thinking of black and white in
terms of being diametrically opposing and conflicting opposites. Instead, they each are interchanging halves, each with
a common origin, each a part of this dynamic process of creation. The black webs and grids are reminiscent of his
earlier works using blackened paper. Paper represents something that is old, traditional and organic. It is associated
with ideas of communication and transmission. By extension, it is a symbol for culture and our cultural life. However,
paper is something that is fragile and easily degraded, and thus short-lived and has but a passing existence. The round
patches of white that are a new development in Kluenters work are to do with his recent experiments with using light
bulbs in his work. Light bulbs, are opposite in many respects to paper, being associated with science and technology.
The bulbs suggest light, which as we know, is a form of energy. Energy, according to Einsteins E=mc2 theory, is the
force of causation. Something is created out of where before there appeared to be nothing. This is the process of crea-
tion - the observation of what happens when something transpires, and the main pre-occupation of this current series
of work. This physical formula argues for interchangability of energy and matter, of void and material things. There is a
great amount of void in Kluenters paintings, which suggests at the great amount of void that is present in our universe.
This void, should not, however, be confused with nothing-ness. The void is in itself a force for change and a source of
matter. It is out of the void that all things come and to which all things must return.

This idea of space and the function of space allude to the significance of the title of this series: Urban Retreat. Rolf A.
Kluenter is exceptionally humanitarian. He is concerned not with abstract theories in and of themselves, but in their rela-
tionship to and meaning for human life. The overwhelming environment that is the urban space causes him to question
what this means for the individuals that must reside within that space, at what recourse they have at their disposal to
contend with the pressures and impact of that environment. We cannot escape from material reality nor can we avoid
the necessity of having to exist within some kind of physical context. Our aim should be to find a retreat within this spa-
tial environment, instead of a removal from its confines. These paintings act as facilitators in this process and exercise
of temporary withdrawal. He does not advocate removal from this environment as a constructive solution, nor does he
suggest living apart or secluded. It is undesirable to live with a mind deluded. Instead, we must find a way to temper
our awareness of our reaction to the environment, this is to say, to find a way, whilst being among it all, and to remain
true to our truest and most inner self. First, however, we must find a means by which to know and to comprehend our
own identity and place in the external environment.
We invite you to pause for just a moment and consider the works before you in this exhibition - to seek, at least tempo-
rarily, a space for reflection and contemplation and to discover for yourself your own personal urban retreat.
