Rolf A. Kluenter "is characterized by a consequent turning to the east.
After graduating from the renowned Fine Arts Academy in Duesseldorf in
the year 1982, Kluenter didn't focus on New York, which as metropolis
of contemporary art had produced a hypnotic maelstrom, but rather
towards Nepal. For him, the new positioning, which not only in the
physical sense meant a counter-direction, was like the entry into the
labyrinth of insight. Especially, because his sojourn also included an
intensive study of and an encounter with far- eastern ways of thinking
and meditation. Until 1998, he lived in Kathmandu, after this daring
the move to Shanghai, a metropolis with a capitalistically
characterized dynamic that constitutes the third station of an unusual
artistic path."
