Based in Berlin, Wolfgang Stiller has spent nearly 40 years developing a sculptural practice that spans installation, drawing, and object-based work. His approach reflects a deep fascination with human and non human bodies, explored through scale, material, and the quiet psychology of form. Stiller's career has taken him across the US, Europe, and Asia, experiences that shaped his perspective and helped define his distinct, culturally informed visual language.

Educated at the prestigious Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, Stiller has exhibited in more than 140 solo and group shows, with works held in major museum collections in China and Germany. His practice balances serious social commentary with a sense of playfulness, often using simple, man made forms to explore ideas of identity, surface, and perception.

Stiller is known for rejecting the imitation of nature, instead highlighting the hidden beauty of industrial materials. This interest began with his early Laboratory Series and continued through his latex works of the 1990s, which examined a culture increasingly obsessed with surface over substance.

His most iconic project, the Matchstickmen, introduces the human figure as both symbol and narrative. These charred, oversized matchstick sculptures comment on burnout, human expendability, and the waste of human resources, while retaining a playful, humorous edge. The installation feels simultaneously light and profound, a reminder of how we ignite, burn, and scatter across the world we inhabit.
