The art of Wolfram Stumpf, emerging from his studio in a beautiful part the Fanad peninsula, has somehow remained one of the great secrets of the Irish art world – but that’s changing. After all, he’s a native of the city of Breslau-Wroclaw, and Wroclaw is said to be old Polish for “he will return famous”!
Wolfram studied in the 60s at Hamburg University and later taught art in Gluckstadt near Hamburg. He has been living in Fanad since 1982.
His work has been exhibited in numerous one-person shows in Germany and Ireland, including the prestigious annual exhibition of the Royal Hibernian Academy. Private collectors in Ireland and throughout Europe have purchased and commissioned Stumpf paintings.
Wolfram Stumpf’s landscapes are often impressionist and sometimes cubist in style, influenced by the great French painters L’Hote and Gleizes. His command of his medium and his long familiarity with the beauty of the rural byways and wondrous coast of Donegal combine to give his work a special resonance and appeal.
