On January 14th, the opening of my exhibition “In Bewegung!” (“In Motion!”) took place at the Parktheater Iserlohn. Nearly 180 visitors followed the welcome by the theater director Niels Gamm and the introduction to my work by the art historian Dr. Carolin Krüger-Bahr. The exhibition can be seen until March 10th.

The PHOENIX is ​​the mythical bird that burns or dies at the end of its life cycle and then re-emerges from its decaying body or from its own ashes. My first kinetic sculpture addresses this narrative of endless ups and downs. The logo is already finished, with a graphic reference to the sculpture’s electric drive.

My first kinetic sculpture is in progress – for my exhibition “In Bewegung (In Motion)!” at the Parktheater Iserlohn. The PHOENIX will be on display from January 14th to March 10th, 2024. The hanging sculpture is powered by an electric motor, consists, among other things, of 461 laser-cut plastic parts and has 72 moving elements.

Sustainability and upcycling also work in art! My first paintings on old cardboard are ready. The subject and motif have been chosen in such a way that the works can be shown in my exhibition “In Bewegung! (On the Move!)”.

On May 19, 2013, the peace candleholder was included in the liturgy for the first time in the Evangelical Kreuzkirche in Viersen. The special thing about this chandelier is its base, which is made entirely of glass. The matt glass, which shines through the incident light, not only gives the globe optical lightness, but also bears the weight of the steel sphere.

My new short film “I love my PETs” is now available exclusively as an NFT in the art store of UNPAINTED, the platform for digital art in Munich. There are three copies of the 7 min 21 sec long video with a digital certificate.

The Munich platform for digital art UNPAINTED is now also offering my work “Hope of salvation” to an international audience via the Artsy platform. Based in New York City, this online art trading platform develops and hosts websites for numerous galleries and sells art for its partners. I am happy that my works are included.

I designed the globe candle holder in the Friedenskirche in Iserlohn-Letmathe in 1999. Over a hundred small magnetic candle holders can be freely positioned on the stylized globe. Now the one-off has received a new detail. The metal drip tray for candle wax has been replaced with a frosted glass pane. This underlines the formal affiliation of the globe candle holder to the baptismal font with its frosted glass cover and the four apostle chandeliers.

UNPAINTED is the platform for digital art – online and offline. Objects, unique pieces, prints and videos by renowned artists with a wide variety of positions are offered here. Since April I’ve also been there with exclusive, digital works. I am happy about the new cooperation!

This year the Kley Gallery in Hamm celebrates its 50th anniversary. On September 19, the anniversary exhibition was opened with a successful vernissage on this occasion. More than 50 artists from the gallery take part in the group show. I am represented with three works.

Due to Corona, a real exhibition of the Kunstverein Iserlohn cannot take place this spring, but it is possible virtually. The exhibition “Ersehntes“ („Desired“) shows 49 paintings and a sculpture by 23 artists. All works can be seen in a thematic context with the pandemic.

This QR art relief is a homage to the elementary and an invitation to get involved in unusual perspectives and to look for the fascinating behind the obvious. The QR code formed by 443 spherical electrons links to my abstract short film “Electrons”. The commissioned work for the Brinkschulte Medien publishing house has been hanging in the Kaiserhaus in Arnsberg since February 5th.

For the 2020 “Jump Over” exhibition of the WCAA (World Culture Artists Association) in Seoul, I was able to provide the German contribution this year. From October 5th to 30th, my shadow painting “Köln Hbf” will be there.

The Tageblatt is the second largest daily newspaper in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. In the September 5th issue, an article in the magazine features my two most recent acrylic portraits. The wonderfully graphically designed article makes it clear why the Tageblatt has won several awards for its design in the past.

In my first lyric volume “Lass mich Leben spüren!” (“Let me feel life!”) I put photos of my paintings and sculptures next to the poems I wrote myself. In this way, text and images convey moods that everyone has already experienced. From the everyday observation to the great feelings that make life so worth living. The 52-page booklet is available in stationary bookshops as well as on Amazon.

Almost three and a half decades have passed since the first sketch on this subject. Now my idea has materialized for the first time, in the form of the Flying Disc 001. A hybrid structure with both technical and biological elements. This disc will dissolve due to the frictional heat in the atmosphere.

In issue 4 (winter 2019/2020) TOP Magazin Sauerland publishes a tow-page interview with me. The title “The world is a playground” deals with artistic diversity, digital works, future works and art in public spaces.

On November 18, the Letmathe city pillar was ceremoniously handed over to the city of Iserlohn. Michael Scheffler, Deputy Mayor of the city of Iserlohn, emphasized in his speech the great importance of art in public space as an enrichment of life. From now on, illuminated reliefs show the way to the Letmathe sights and a locomotive and an airship circle in the wind around the top of the mast. They commemorate the commissioning of the Ruhr-Sieg route in 1859 and the legendary landing of the Parseval airship Charlotte in Letmathe in 1912.

Since September 8th, the globe candlestick has been an important part of the establishment of the Genezareth-Kirche in Aachen. With its stand made of European maple, it adapts to the form of the altar, ambo and baptismal font. The steel globe with its continents made of hand-formed aluminum offers space for 68 lights. I am happy to have designed such an important element for this outstanding sacred building.

After cutting out the steel components for the Letmathe city pillar, the assembly and welding work has now been completed. The image shows the coupling with which the lower part and the upper part of the two-part sculpture will later be connected on the construction site. The next production steps are hot-dip galvanising and the powder coating.

I am happy to design and manufacture a globe candlestick for the Genezareth-Kirche in Aachen. The outstanding ensemble of sacred buildings and community rooms was completed and inaugurated in 2018.
