Sculptor Roland Höft lives and works in Lemgo, Germany. Since 1995, he has been dedicated to contemporary sculpture. Stone – particularly marble and granite – is his central artistic medium.

From his studio in Lemgo, Höft develops an individual artistic language situated between architectural structure, spatial perception and the inherent materiality of stone. His sculptures are created for private and public spaces, as well as for international sculpture symposia, exhibitions and art projects.

His artistic practice combines the local presence of his studio in Lemgo with an international exhibition career and numerous projects in public space.

Since 2020, Roland Höft has been intensively exploring the concept “Bending Instead of Breaking.” In this series, he transfers the properties of metal deformation to stone, creating the illusion that massive marble and stone forms are seemingly bending.

The resulting material contradiction challenges familiar patterns of perception. Stability and movement, weight and lightness, resistance and transformation enter into dialogue.

The sculptures move between physical reality and visual illusion, inviting the viewer to reconsider their perception of material and form.
