REVELATIONS / Photography
REVELATIONS. This series is an attempt to recreate mystery and tension around a topic that i find too important to be left out: Heat. On one side it´s challenging to infiltrate an old genre by adding new elements, on the other hand I think that even an over-used stereotye can be celebrated, if the presentation [...]
ABOUT & CONTACT
YEAH, BUT IS IT ART? – That’s a quote from a Robert Crumb cartoon, which i have quickly stolen for this text intro. You might know my illustration work, but at this place you find my free works solely: collage, drawings, walls, photography, print. Art? I recently found a quote of mine in an old Graffiti [...]
GALLERY SHOWS
SOME IMPRESSIONS from solo exhibitions and group shows in Munich, Milano, Berlin, Cologne and the Ruhr area. I have been collaborating with several galleries in the field of urban/contemporary art, such as Neon Chocolate, Gallery Box32 and West Berlin Gallery and have been invited to present showcases of canvas works, photographs and screenprint series at [...]
POISONED POSTCARDS / Post Photography

In the media it was mainly presented as an act of rebellious vandalism, while, as long as there was a nice legal frame, some bigger productions already [...]
CANVAS WORK / DRAWING
CANVAS, DRAWING OR PRINT? It depends. Screenprinting is the perfect technique to reproduce collage works with type elements, rasterized photo works or graffiti drawings: it allows to merge the different graphic disciplines I love to engage in. I mainly create small editions of of handprinted silkscreen pieces. In my canvas work i use a mix [...]
MY FOLKS / Photography
MY FOLKS PORTRAYED. I´m sure some of these people are your folks too, you need to have a closer look. People are in fact very interesting. I´m happy to know some fascinating humans – and once in a while meet new ones. I always liked portrait photography of a specific kind, not too glamourous, not [...]
SPUK AM OSTKREUZ / Photography
OSTKREUZ IS A CROWDED PLACE IN BERLIN, WHERE ONCE STOOD A LONELY OLD HOUSE. A leftover that seemed to heve creeped into our modern times, without being noticed by the masses of busy people passing by. The image of this house was the start of this series. There are always stories behind buildings, streets and [...]
