Christoph Ruckhäberle is an artist, painter, and printmaker, and a central figure of Lubok Verlag.

His practice is rooted in traditional printmaking techniques—especially woodcut and linocut—which he consistently translates into a contemporary visual language.

Ruckhäberle’s portraits are characterized by clear forms, strong color contrasts, and deliberately reduced compositions. Figures appear less as individualized likenesses than as typified image forms, where painting, graphic methods, and serial procedures intersect. The manual process remains visible and integral to the work, resisting the polish of mechanical reproduction.

Within the context of Lubok Verlag, Ruckhäberle’s work extends beyond individual authorship to a collective publishing practice. The book becomes an exhibition space, each page an original—positioning printmaking as an autonomous, contemporary medium shaped by craft, collaboration, and artistic independence.
