New Portait Drawing Class
18.04.2016

My art teacher Zjelko is currently doing a new portait drawing class so i joined and was amazed how much geometry is involved in drawing a precise face. Circles, Lines, Squares, and proportions. I think i will need to draw more again so it is a good start.

 
New paintings, drawings, and prints
12.07.2015

I uploaded a lot of my recent work and all stuff from the exhibition to the homepage. As i was doing also drawings and prints in a recent VHS course my portfolio is getting more diverse. I tried new techniques and combined a lot of contrasting things like tusche and acrylics, drawing and painting, or simply putting things together in a new way. Hope you like them, my second exhibition will start soon, i am very excited.

 
Exhibition "Gegensätze" @ VHS Stuttgart
20.06.2015

My second exhibition Gegensätze / Opposites with the "Studiengang Bildende Kunst" is coming in July 2015 - April 2016. The vernissage will be at 13th of July at the Volkshochschule Ost (Ostendstr. 110) in Stuttggart. Together with Anja Mauch, Brigitte Müller, Christiane Bode, and Stephan Kambor-Wiesenberg I will show stuff that resulted from our course. We made paintings, drawings, and prints by applying various opposites.

Merry X-Mas and a happy new year everybody.

Graphmaster
06.05.2014
