Karlheinz Bux (born 1952 in
Ulm, West Germany) is a German artist concentrating on drawing and sculpture works.[1]
Career
The central pictorial theme of Karlheinz Bux's artistic practice is the line.[2] Clarity, complexity and emblematic quality define his
sculptures and
mural reliefs which are made out of steel,
bronze and wood.[3]
His drawings are executed on
transparent materials such as glass and
polymer foils, with photographic templates constituting the basis of his glass and foil works, that are altered by superimposition and linear treatment.[4] Thereby, a multi-layered image reality is created, that allows numerous interpretations from the viewer, with the exploration of the
peripheral areas of reality being central to his artistic practice.
Karlheinz Bux started his artistic career at
State Academy of Fine Arts Karlsruhe (1972–1977).[5] Various scholarships brought him to Paris (1986/87 and 1992) and
Basel (2004/05).[6] He created art-in-architecture projects among others in the cities of
Radolfzell (1995, mural relief, steel 780/110/5 cm) and in
Karlsruhe (2005, Lineamento Verticale, steel sculpture, 18m height). At the invitation of
Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe, he and the artist
Michaela Kölmel produced a room installation dedicated to the topic of light (Multimediale 2, 1991).[7]
As visiting professor, Karlheinz Bux taught drawing at the University of Pforzheim (1994–95) and principles of design at
University of Mainz (2007–08). His works can be found in many notable European
museums and private
collections, among others at
Kunsthalle Karlsruhe and the
Würth Collection.[8]
