Julian Felix Kirchner

The astonishing spectrum of motifs in Julian Kirchner's woodcuts ranges from cobweb-like shapes to thought bubbles filled with hieroglyphic symbols and cheerful red cherries. In each of his works, the artist succeeds in exploring the tension between line and movement with verve. However, he is merely making the public an artistic offer, as his pictures are open signs that always leave the viewer in a state of courageous uncertainty. You don't necessarily have solid ground under your feet, because the artist doesn't stop there either. The space becomes a homogeneous artistic structure in which walls and floor communicate with each other through signs and symbols in a language that presents the viewer with more riddles than solutions.
