Felix Schramm was born in Hamburg, Germany, in 1970.

After studying Sculpture at Academie Di Belle Arti in Florence and at Kunstakademie Düsseldorf under Jannis Kounellis and Walther Nikkels, artist residences followed in Tokyo and Villa Massimo in Rome.

Schramm's artwork revolves around displacement, which the sculptor addresses in different visual forms within his work. His understanding of sculpture takes the dialectics thereof as a point of departure, from which he generates his modes of spatially oriented work: installation / spatial intervention / sculpture / collage.

Engaging with the relations of space and body has led to different approaches in Felix Schramm's sculptural work, working in groups of works, arranged systematically through a conceptual allocation.

The group "Multilayer" encompasses collages made from large scale photographs taken by Felix Schramm of his three-dimensional installation pieces. The merging of torn photographic paper produces two-dimensionally abstracted visual spaces of jagged edges and image planes.

"Multilayer" refers to Schramm's installation work and simultaneously functions independently on a visual level as a form of spatial construction.

In this case, the viewer begins to reflect differently on the space in front of a multilayer. Tearing away parts of the photograph reveals other forms of the underlying image (photo) and they form the result of a two-dimensional hybrid that changes the cartography of space. A spatio-temporal entanglement is formed.

Felix Schramm negotiates shifts in various differentiated creative forms: he regards entirety in its recombinable parts, among them axes, rifts, warps, the potential alignment of the viewer's perspective, and, to that effect, points of intersection – in both a physical and allegorical sense.

In Felix Schramm's sculptures and installations the surroundings of the object are seen as part of the space that defines the object. With this, Schramm produces formal systems that derive their structure from the dissolution of (architectural) order.

Felix Schramm lives and works in Düsseldorf, Germany.
