Vadim Batz

As a keen observer of contemporary influencer-culture, Hamburg based artist Vadim Batz was quick to realize that handtufting rugs could be way more than just a hashtag on instagram. Born and raised in Astania - Kasachstan Vadim’s visual environment merged clones and copies of western bootlegs and tv culture such as power-rangers and ninja-turtles with colorful carpets - as found in many post-soviet homes, to isolate as well as to decorate walls and floors. His ACIDTRIP - GONE WRONG TAPESTRY™ quotes pop- and high culture, from the mystic age of William Blake to the bloodsoaken battlefields in Warhammer 40K.
