einblick #3: Alex Diamond

26 February - 11 March 2021

Our third edition of the new exhibition series called "einblick" will be with Alex Diamond aka Jörg Heikhaus. "einblick" is a new series of one-week-exhibitions in our gallery windows. Every week we will open a small exhibition on two wood wall walls we build especially for this occasion. We invite one artist who will show his artworks on these walls for one week only, and they will be visible through our windows so you can see them from the outside, day and night, as the current regulations won't allow visitors inside the gallery. 

 

Alex Diamond‘ was initiated as a stand-alone art project by Jörg Heikhaus in 2004. Although it has outlived its original intent, it has become his stage name as an artist.

Essentially being a determined and straightforward storyteller, most of his artwork can be seen as an exploration of contemporary culture and its recurring social recognition patterns, with strong references to popular content and aesthetics.
Known for skillfully employing a vast variety of different techniques and crafts over the years, the majority of his oeuvre today consists of his distinctive trademark woodwork: multi-layered, meticulously and highly detailed sculptural woodcuts, blended with diverse painting and pigmenting styles.
