Noah's Ark

The world is coming to an end, ominous clouds are gathering. The water floods the entire area, already reaching up to the ankles. On a hill, a building assembled from all sorts of scrap metal, obviously a nightclub, rises out of the water. An inviting light shines inside and somewhere a strong fire burns, promising warmth. In a long queue, whose end is not foreseeable, beings half man half animal line up and want to get in there. Why this masquerade? Is there a costume party going on? Or is it a modern Noah's Ark in which those gathered seek refuge from the forces of nature? Have they dressed up so elaborately because only one pair of the same kind is allowed into this ark at a time? The two bouncers are certainly not easy to get past.

It is probably human nature in the face of existentially threatening problems to develop special creativity, but also to take refuge in egoism and hedonism.

Arche Noah

Die Welt geht unter, unheilverkündende Wolken ziehen auf. Das Wasser überflutet die gesamte Gegend, reicht schon bis zu den Knöcheln. Auf einer Anhöhe ragt ein aus allen möglichen Schrottteilen zusammengebautes Gebäude, offensichtlich ein Nachtclub, aus dem Wasser heraus. Ein einladendes Licht leuchtet im Inneren und irgendwo brennt ein starkes Feuer, dass Wärme verspricht. In einer langen Schlange, deren Ende nicht absehbar ist, reihen sich Wesen halb Mensch halb Tier aneinander und wollen dort hinein. Warum diese Maskerade? Ist eine Kostümparty in Gange? Oder ist es eine moderne Arche Noah in der die Versammelten Zuflucht vor den Naturgewalten suchen? Haben sie sich so aufwendig verkleidet, weil auch in diese Arche nur immer ein Paar der gleichen Art Eintritt gewährt wird? An den beiden Türstehern ist sicher kein leichtes Vorbeikommen.

Es liegt wohl in der menschlichen Natur angesichts existentiell bedrohlicher Probleme, besondere Kreativität zu entfalten, aber auch in Egoismus und Hedonismus zu flüchten.

Growing up in Dormagen on the Rhine, he completed an apprenticeship as a typesetter at a Cologne newspaper publishing house after leaving school. During his civilian service, he decided to go to university and later pursue a career in design. He enrolled at the Aachen University of Applied Sciences for the subject of design with Prof. Maether. In addition to his actual subject, he took courses in the liberal arts, drew, painted and designed sculptures. During this time he had his first exhibitions of his work in Aachen and the surrounding area.For many years, his professional focus was on designing and creating objects, furniture and complete interiors for sales rooms, trade fairs and private premises. He gave drawing and painting lessons.In 2000 he moved to Berlin. Since then, in addition to his design work, he has also been active in the training of designers and ran a creative workshop in the field of vocational training for several years.Since 2014, he has devoted himself more to the liberal arts again. In recent years, his artistic development has led from drawing and painting, via mixed techniques, increasingly to collage.
