Group shows at Colette, Art Basel Miami Beach, Rocket Gallery, Diesel, Circleculture Gallery (Berlin), London, Berlin and Zurich. At No.12 Gallery it‘s his first solo show „Kaminoke Kumite“. It‘s about hair, fighting, pop culture and personal history.
„For years I have been fascinated by hair – I want to replicate it in its various shapes. Frozen, like in the middle of a movement. In the middle of a heavy fight. What I find from different media, I assemble into one illustration – drawing, colors, photography. At the same time I want to keep the tension, the struggling of the parts that have been forced in with one another. When you watch my artwork from a distance, everything seems to make sense. But as you move closer, you start to notice the discord.”
March 22nd (Saturday) to 24th (Monday) 2008, 14:00 to 20:00 at No.12 Gallery.
