Contemporary Graphic Prints
Overview of my large-format graphic prints (from 2007 on)
Das Sichtbare ist nicht das Wirkliche. Wirklich ist das Wenige, das der Unentrinnbarkeit entrinnt, der Lüge und der Illusion, die Kunst.

The technical capabilities of digital art push contemporary graphics in contemporary directions – like video art or game design, virtual reality, 3D animations, animated pixel art (Gif) etc. (works of pixel art I admire the most are from the beginning of the century: FREEware/DELAware).
But my own digital approach is by contrast traditional rather and looks hand-made from a distance. It is pure graphic print hanging on the wall (large-format), a mix ('collage') of digital woodcut, drypoint and digital brushstrokes.
And most specifically: it is not 'photoshopped', it is not 'digital painting' and not pixel art. – It is all vector art.
(An art gallery for selling the prints will be named here soon.)
