Christoph Dahlhausen (born 1960 in Bonn) is a German artist, curator, and author. Following studies in music, medicine, and philosophy, he established an international artistic practice focused on the interaction of light, colour, and space. He lives and works between Bonn, Trier, and Melbourne.
He works across sculpture, installation, painting, and architectural interventions. Using materials such as glass, mirrors, coloured acrylic, reflective surfaces, and artificial light, he creates perceptual situations in which colour and light become active spatial elements. His practice is rooted in the traditions of concrete and constructive art while exploring the viewer’s experience of space and perception.
Recent projects continue his investigation of colour as a spatial phenomenon and of light as a transformative force. Through large-scale installations, public commissions, and site-specific works, Dahlhausen explores how perception is shaped by movement, architecture, and changing environmental conditions. Alongside his artistic practice, he has been active as a curator and educator, including teaching and research positions internationally, as at RMIT University in Melbourne.
