*1986 in Gera, lebt und arbeitet in Berlin
Anything but a common cliché is a large-format ink drawing of a densely overgrown forest or undergrowth, which the artist created on pre-folded paper. The folding is irritating and is reminiscent of the folding of a conventional map. The drawing itself is also interrupted by an organic wave structure that alienates the motif in a peculiar way. With the motif of the forest, the artist presents us with one of his personal motifs of longing, whereby he fished the template for his drawing from the Internet. The drawing shows his projection of a natural section of Ibiza.
