| Summary: | It is his ironic appropriation of seemingly simple pictorial themes and concepts that makes the pictures and drawings by Jan Bräumer (born 1970) so fascinating. Informed by the motto "Technology is not a solution, but a means to an end" the artist employs highly diverse forms of expression and stylistic devices to create his images. With his aversion to all manner of dogmatism or formalism he avoids a standardized view of things and integrates thematic and formal stumbling blocks into his humorous imagery, which leave a lasting visual and intellectual impression on the observer. |
