Luca Kohlmetz

Info: How can the growing population use the earth’s resources without destroying them? Luca Kohlmetz explores this question in the exhibition The Limits to Growth and comments on the contradiction of the Anthropocene with his sculptural works and spatial installations. The works are made of processed steel and coal, of natural materials and of growing plants themselves – they tell of monoculture and biodiversity in a growing, hungry world that is reaching its limits and threatening to destroy itself. Luca Kohlmetz studied at the Düsseldorf Art Academy and graduated in 2022 as a master student of Franka Hörnschemeyer. His works revolve around the pressing questions of our time and address ecological and social grievances. Natural materials and clear shapes characterize Kohlmetz’s works. New location: Hansaallee 22, 40547 Düsseldorf-Oberkassel / Opening hours: Wednesdays 6–7 pm & Sundays 12–2 pm in presence of the artist.
