Stefan Marx
*1979 in Schwalmstadt, lives and works in Berlin

Stefan Marx gives a personal touch to a wide range of materials: be it paper, canvas, object or textile. In all media, his work captivates through his literally unmistakable handwriting. One of his most important characteristics is a humorous monochrome painting style based on texts. The words, often inspired by song lyrics, have a strong visual and emotional impact - as poetic messages of everyday life. In the case of these monotypes, viewers encounter the artist's handwriting with a dark purple "Zurich is Stained" and a neon red "Out of Control" exclamation - both of which seem inspired by lyrics, or rather song titles.
