WORKS – the artistic creations of Christoph Dahlhausen

Dahlhausen’s works are always focused on direct sensuality. The artist mostly uses industrially pre-produced materials, both for his individual works and for his large, space-related installations.

Dahlhausen works masterfully in both small and very large formats. His site-specific installations can fill entire halls (e.g. at the DA, Kunsthaus Kloster Gravenhorst 2023).
A signature style in the classical or conventional sense is usually sought in vain in the work of this internationally active artist, yet his works are recognisable in a special way. Dahlhausen is a painter, but he lets the light paint the room.

Working with light

»From the very beginning, natural light and, since 2005, artificial light have played a central role in Christoph Dahlhausen’s large-scale works. Not as an additional, aesthetic element within sculptural situations or even as “lighting” for them, but rather as an independent medium that the artist uses specifically to define the respective space and thus make it tangible for the viewer. In Dahlhausen’s work, immaterial light becomes tangible and even corporeal. It describes and surrounds the space without being degraded to a mere auxiliary material.«
