Raised in Europe and educated in the United Kingdom, Ludolf demonstrated his natural artistic ability early on.

Ludolfs art has been shown in various venues across Europe and the U.S. and his work may be found in private and corporate collections around the world.

Ludolf has lived in Winnipeg since 2002 and turned professional in 2006.

Ludolf signed with Gallery Lacosse in April 2006, his principal representative in Winnipeg.

In July of 2007, the Winnipeg Art Gallery acquired several of Ludolf's pieces for their Art Rental and Sales.

Early 2008, Ludolf was signed by the John Bloxham Gallery in London. Mid 2008 Ludolf will be represented by Jean-Francois Sani in Continental Europe.

As one of the co-founders; charged with the Visual Direction, of the new pre-Simulationist art movement, Ludolf is fascinated by the influence of the virtual world afforded by the Internet, and cognitive science on how we see ourselves and the world around us.

Ludolf does not make reprints; every piece is an original but it is affordable and accessible.

"I hope that my work conveys harmony; and that when viewing it; you too can experience similar positive emotions and validate this aspiration. If the latter proves true, then I would be honored for you to own my work.

A Prescient Art movement For the 21st Century

A vanguard group of prescient artists, poets, and writers who are finding new ways to surpass the exhausted postmodern epoch and its constructions of language and thought.

pre-Simulationism
pre-Simulationists look to the future and the sim worlds that will soon immerse humankind, examining what sort of consciousness might emerge when full simulation takes place. We do not reject science nor scoff at the usefulness or importance of its knowledge because of nihilistic arguments derived from Goedel's Theorem.

In this age of neural and genetic discovery we explore new subjective approaches to creativity and the place of art in the world, searching beyond language for the workings of our feelings and experience of sentience.

pre-Sims draw inspiration for our creative works and other artists' creations not only in the semiotics of cultural simulations, but also charting maps of awareness of the inner mind, awake or dreaming.
