Biography:

Clemens Behr is a German artist born in 1985 in Koblenz. He graduated in graphic design from the University of Applied Sciences in Dortmund and studied fine arts sculpting at the Berlin University of the Arts. His work can be defined somewhere between design and sculpture and is heavily influenced by three aesthetic movements: Dadaism, Surrealism, and Abstract Expressionism. Behr creates complex sculptural installations composed of discarded materials and imposing geometric murals that reflect the architecture of the surrounding environment. He has gained international recognition for his grand gestures and site-specific practice. Behr's work often explores the relationship between art, architecture, and urban space, using everyday materials such as wood and cardboard to create large-scale installations. His artistic profile is characterized by flexibility, modesty, intuition, and courage for appropriation and misappropriation. He has shown his works in numerous exhibitions around the world, including solo shows at various galleries.
