This is the art world after all. Reading a gallery “About" section one might normally expect there be some terms like “best”, “newest”, “modern”, you know the rest. But rather than regurgitating the hard sell, I’ve decided to just tell you how Dolffs came to being. Moritz von Bockum-Dolffs (yes that’s a mouthful) loves photography, journeys and story telling. He had an idea to realise his dream and create something that combines his passions. The idea did not start off so clear and simple of course, but as with any journey it evolved into what it is now - a place where he can exhibit his own creative expressions and those of other artists that excite and inspire him. Along the way, through the luck of the gods our worlds collided. My name is Christopher van Niekerk (yet another mouthful). As Moritz is the captain, one might say I am the first-mate. And as every good vessel needs a navigator, our team is completed by the brain-muscle of Raphael Thelen. Making up the rest of the ship is our precious cargo - the artists and their artworks. Simply put, we search for artists and artworks that inspire and touch us, regardless of trends, fads of fashion. We invite them to join us on our journey, as do I now invite you to look through our artists’ works and experience them for yourself.
