About The Artwork

The drawing installation RAUMWELT explores the inner life of the WELTRAUM off-space in Munich. These rooms lead a double life as public art space and as private domicile. The two worlds change and mix constantly. The various uses and phases of the rooms are depicted as overlapping, revealing the space's double life. The drawings were all made on site over the course of a week. Die Zeichnungsinstallation RAUMWELT beschäftigt sich mit dem Innenleben vom WELTRAUM. Diese Räume führen ein Doppelleben als öffentlicher Kunstraum und als ganz privater Wohnraum. Es wird hier ausgestellt, betrachtet, ausgetauscht und gefeiert. Was der Vernissage-Besucher nicht erahnt, ist, dass hier auch gearbeitet und geschlafen, gegessen und gelebt wird. Es gibt eine konstante Umwandlung zwischen offenem öffentlichen Betrieb und geschlossenem privaten Raum. Diese Spannung zwischen diesen zwei Welten, die den gleichen Raum belegen, ist in großformatige Zeichnungen eingefloßen, die vor Ort angefertigt wurden. Dargestellt werden die Räumlichkeiten des WELTRAUMs selbst und die Geschehnisse darin zu verschiedenen Zeitpunkten, öffentlich und privat. Diese Spiegelbilder aus verschiedenen Zeitpunkten bringen Auszüge und Artefakte aus Eröffnungen und aus dem Alltag zusammen, um den Gesamtkontext der Räume zu vermitteln.

Urban Munich in its changing light and moods is the primary setting for my work of the last decade. The places are specific to the „Metropolis on the Isar“ but the primary subject, the figure in the (urban) landscape, is universal. After many years of observing the dynamism and sheer joy of riding in the Munich cycling culture, my focus has shifted to the the subculture of the city that emerges after hours. It is a search for images that go beyond mere documentation to express something more profound about human existence in modern urban environments. My „Slaughterhouse Subculture“ series has its origin in the graffiti sprayer scene around Munich’s Schlachthof district. My work process begins with a combination of direct observation and photographic documentation. Certain events and scenes resonate beyond the actual moment and these are developed further into a composition through exploratory sketches, digital manipulations, composites. Once I move to the canvas, the image continues to evolve slowly through paint into a compelling image beyond the initial impetus of the moment. Light and movement are particularly important aspects in order to allow the viewer to enter the particular sense of space and atmosphere that I am aiming to share.
