Roland Stratmann

Stratmann’s artworks evolve in layers—graphical, historical, narrative. Fine ink drawings and linguistic fragments bring meaning to the flickering stories beneath the surface. At their core are so-called “travelled” postcards—handwritten mementos from everyday life.

Rather than obscuring their wear, text, stamps, or ambiguities, Stratmann weaves them into the composition. Iconic motifs from art and cultural history reappear through his ink drawings—precise, delicate, and transparent to what lies beneath.

Whether as large-format collages or curated sets, his work is shaped by themes of transience, memory, and species preservation—inviting viewers to discover what often goes unnoticed. His art resonates with the whispers of the past, sharpening our awareness for what is quiet yet deeply meaningful.
