Wolf Münninghoff works as a sculptor with stone and wood, influenced by his training as a stonemason and sculptor, as well as his artistic development in southern Germany. His technique is based on the removal of material, allowing him to create powerful, process-oriented, often modular sculptures that thrive on conceptuality and an experimental approach to material and form. With striking simplicity and openness, his works convey freedom and vitality, encouraging reflection on change, perception, and the enduring mystery of existence.
My understanding of myself as a sculptor relates to sculpture in this original sense of "cutting away".
Sculptural work follows its own principles, which find a universal parallel in life: it is a quest that involves a series of decisions. The material is a source of inspiration, but also limits the possibilities. It is a dialogical process.
