The Hamburg artist Kevin Simion fascinates with his photo-realistic black and white drawings. With an incredible richness of detail and an enormous depth of field, he depicts things from nature and technology as well as cultural objects, portraits or comic figures. The artist uses various pencils in different shades of gray and drawing paper. Looking at them raises questions about our current understanding of images: What is truth and what is appearance? And are these two categories still relevant at all in view of Simion's art? In some cases, the drawn object brings another level to this thought experiment, such as when a tape measure appears deceptively real due to the depth illusion depicted, thus simultaneously reducing its sole meaning and purpose to absurdity.

Marie-Claude Marquis
Plates and Embroideries
Born in 1983, Marie-Claude Marquis is an artist whose multi-disciplinary practice touches upon both graphic design and visual arts. Her work focuses particularly on nostalgia, everyday life, pop culture and her own emotions, which she expresses with her feminine touch and a colorful sensitivity. With several exhibitions in Canada, the United States and Europe, each project is a new challenge that she enjoys facing. In her work, the artist particularly appreciate the reappropriation of old objects by whip-smart typographic hand interventions. By giving these antiques a second life, she wants to prolong their existence and reduce her own environmental impact. Pattern, graphic and space designs are as well a big part of or practice. The result of this work is often humorous, sometimes irreverent but always maintains a great concern fo...
Nico Sawatzki
Nico Sawatzki
n his paintings, Nico Sawatzki creates abstract pictorial spaces that generate a special depth effect through high-contrast lighting moods. While his older works mostly depict industrial, dynamic spatial constructions, his paintings since 2018 are more reminiscent of natural landscapes: By superimposing a multitude of layers of spray paint and acrylic glazes, the landscapes seem reduced to their essentials and oscillate between condensation and dissolution. Sawatzki himself also describes his paintings as surfaces of his own memories. He sees the painting process as a kind of negotiation with mental pictorial spaces that can concentrate and evaporate, but never stand still. These inner images have neither a clear form nor are they fixed in a specific place. If we enter into a dialog with Sawatzki's works, they can act as filters for ce...

Neue Collagen
Elmar Lause is a master of collage and the alienation of what we know. By bringing together the most diverse objects and materials such as toys, balls, doll's eyes or antlers, the artist creates bizarre fantasy figures that seem to challenging us. Lause not only brings his surreal creatures and grimaces to life through assemblages and sculptures, but also portrays them in his paintings.
@kriegundfreitag
@kriegundfreitag
@kriegundfreitag is actually Tobias Vogel and has been publishing his now famous humorous and poetic stick figure drawings on various social networks since 2017. The name "@kriegundfreitag" was created by the autocorrect of his cell phone, which wrote "Friday" instead of "peace". He gained greater fame with his stick figure chain and the associated fundraising campaign he drew in 2018 on the occasion of the riots in Chemnitz. After the publication of his first book "Schweres Geknitter" in 2019, the Hamburg native hung up his bread job in 2020. In the meantime, as a full-time artist, he inspires a total of more than 275,000 people on social networks. In 2019, he won the Grimme Online Award in the "Culture and Entertainment" category, and in 2020 he was awarded the Max-undMoritz Audience Award at the Comic Salon Erlangen. The phenomen...

Johan Schäfer
Johan Schäfer
Johan Schäfer turns the canvas into an object. Using oil, varnish and acrylic, he transfers everyday objects onto canvases, playing with a wide variety of formats. The paintings fill the entire pictorial space with the representation of the respective object, creating a semantic double. This process of appropriation creates a shift in context that makes us think anew about the meaning and symbolism of what is shown. In addition to the object series, Schäfer's artistic oeuvre also includes fictitious pictorial motifs that show us the absurdities and paradoxes of our time with a certain humor. In terms of content and form, Schäfer's works can be categorized in the styles of Pop Surrealism and Pop Realism. The Leipzig-based artist studied in Hamburg and Barcelona and graduated as a master student at the Dresden University of Fine Arts ...
Jakobus Durstewitz 'Strom'
Jakobus Durstewitz 'Strom'
If we immerse ourselves in Durstewitz's pictures, we find ourselves in industrialized transit locations such as the port of Hamburg. Reflecting water, distance and silence motivate us to contemplatively observe the circumstances. Durstewitz states: "I absorb and abstract what I see in suppressed nature". In doing so, he alludes to industrialization, which in fact triggered a transformation of the social, economic and political fabric and continually represses nature. The industrial landscapes in his paintings reflect this symbolically but by no means in a moralizing way. The black-and-white photographs of his father, who worked at a shipyard, serve as a model. In addition, the artist also searches for motifs himself at the harbor, "preferably in old, somewhat run-down corners," says Durstewitz. As a silent observer, he is int...
