Stefan à Wengen's atmospherically dense paintings show figurative and representational motifs. The images are subject to a strong content that relate to cultural codes and at the same time allow ambiguous interpretations. His pictures deal with themes of existential weighting that refer to art history as well as always including the present.
Stefan à Wengen was born in Basel in 1964, lives and works in Düsseldorf, where he co-founded SPAM-CONTEMPORARY project space in 2012.
