  • My Next Solo Show in Rothe House, Kilkenny

    My Next Solo Show in Rothe House, Kilkenny

    I am very excited to announce my next big solo show at Rothe House (Kilkenny, Ireland). The show is taking place during the famed Kilkenny Arts Festival that gathers many of the world’s finest musicians, performers, writers and artists in Ireland’s medieval city each August. During this time, I will show 25 of my most recent painting (large sized canvases including). I will be personally present and happy to give you a guided tour throughout this event.

    2016 has started for me very intensively. Working on numerous large canvases, I have already spent quite few hours in my studio.

    Starting new project

    Starting new project

    Sometimes my studio is just too small. Over the past few days, I have been stretching canvases for my new project. Throughout the holidays and early next year, I will be working on 30 large-sized canvases, exploring "flow" as a theme and an experiment to hone a new abstract series for my so far biggest solo show in Cologne. The details will follow soon...

    New work in progress

    New work in progress

    I work in a former factory that produced church organs, a stone’s throw from the Old City of Gottingen. For an artist, space is critical, not only for natural light but also for physical dimensions – it needs to be used as a work area, for occasional displays, storage of work, as well as an almost countless array of tools, pigments and other materials.

    Installing my "WOW BROWS" sails

    It was a great experience (and fun) hanging my 6-metre-long sails at Max Planck Institute for Dynamic and Self-Organization. My exhibition "WOW BROW" is part of Göttingen Art Project "Unusual Spaces" and features well-known brows of great thinkers.

    Impression from my Studio, January 2015

    Pigments, ethanol, oil and varnish are the basis of my work. Multiple layers created by my wet on wet soaking technique, in which multiple layers blend with and react against each other, generating fine organic shapes and textures so characteristic in my paintings.
