Sarah Schrof is a visual artist based in Stuttgart, Germany, working across process-based art, spatial installation, and abstract sculpture. Her practice conceives of material as a living system, shaped through the interplay of observation, time, and transformation — organic, self-evolving movements in which repetition, layering, and physical transformation operate with equal agency. Through repetitive gestures and subtle motions, an unstable boundary emerges between object and living form.
Schrof works with pigments derived from plants — time becomes subjectively perceptible, and material unfolds its own dynamics through processes of flux. Drawing on conceptual, scientific, and experimental approaches, she meticulously deconstructs the traces of her working process and translates them into material constellations — works that evoke states of temporality and presence, revealing a symbolic reality.
Schrof completed her diploma at the State Academy of Fine Arts Stuttgart in 2015, and has been exhibiting in galleries and museums since. Since 2022, she has taught Theory of Colours at the same institution. Her exhibitions include Museum Kulturspeicher Würzburg, Glaspalast Augsburg, Direktorenhaus Museum Berlin, and Wunderkammer Stuttgart, as well as Colorscope, a spatial installation and performance realized in collaboration with Stuttgart Ballet. She has received several fellowships and awards, including the Mathilde Planck Lectureship and the Task Force Textiles research fellowship, both supported by the Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts Baden-Württemberg. Her work has been featured in Le fil dans l’art contemporain (Pyramyd Éditions, Paris, 2025) and Ateliers d’Art Magazine (2024).
