Kai Richter

For the sculptor Kai Richter, artistic work usually begins outside the studio, by inspecting the features of spaces and by searching and locating materials. Appropriating found objects on the one hand and building materials on the other, he pursues different sculptural strategies: Sheet metal, steel and concrete rings remain unchanged, while Doka beams, scaffolding poles and boards are transformed in dynamic processes. Deprived of their actual function as construction aids, Kai Richter gives materials a completely new narration and develops multi-variant sculptural concepts that convince through their simplicity and clarity of form.
