Catalogue Note

"For Rudi everything including  materials, objects, or substances appears to give sensations as feelings that want to be expressed...[He likes to] play on general perceptions about three-dimensional qualities in his two-dimensional works [and] often says that his paintings are imaginary sculptures."
