Biography
Wilfried Schaus-Sahm
Born 1949
1997 to 2008 Founder and Artistic Director of the Music Festival "Dreamtime" (Traumzeit)
Dr. Susanne Höper-Kuhn, art historian, Dusseldorf:
„Schaus-Sahm is highly consistent in his artistic journey. Starting with paintings of ciphers in an informal structure and texture he reaches a form of expression that now can be described as Assoziagrammes. When black and white image is focused on seeing the sign, line, shape, without distracting detours, and it opposes the onslaught of our colorful world of images. Unusually, the framing. He places the canvas in a kind of glazed display cases, interpreted as an extension of the framing of his small-format works in a CD case. Based on the search of the artist after a spelling of reality by means of visual art photography is a necessary counterpart to the painting. Or, to quote Walter Benjamin : " The ignorant of photography will be the ignorant illiterate of the future". (from: Little History of Photography). In a selective perception process Schaus-Sahm photographed snippets of reality. Directly and immediately, he confronts us with the moment and thus leads back his artistic work on an item on the illumination of the reality at the moment of vision as a perception of the possibilities of our existence.

Dear Haknvahn, thank you very much for your kind words. That chair stood backstage in an enormous factory hall during the time I was artistic director of my festival. Our photographer made wonderful photos from all of my heroes like Herbie Hancock, Sonny Rollins, Bobby McFerrin. Laurie Anderson and many others sitting on that chair. So I took the chance to sit there too. My comments on the works of other artist are honest, I would not try to make false compliments just to be nice. All the best for you Wilfried

Thanks, Schaussahm. Behind the form and appearance of your abstract (musical) moment-which wield a powerful dramatic force-cries forth a narrative. Love it! Hope we can put a show together.....Happy new Year!
