“No title”, Chloe Grove (UK)
Chloe Grove is a British artist based in Berlin since 2007. Her works range from colour pencil drawings to small edition prints. She is inspired by folk art, macabre subject matter, op art and everyday objects. Her intaglios for our 2019 Mini Maxi Berlin exhibition feature sleeping cats surrounded by monochromatic patterns. Within these, they appear relaxed, hypnotising the viewer into a similar state of mind. Her work mainly plays with new ways of using traditional mediums. This focus is seen in her intaglios where she uses a personalised printing technique. She developed this technique in 2005. Plates are made by cutting and peeling back layers of card to obtain a variety of tonal values and linear marks. The surface is then varnished and the plate can be printed using the intaglio method. In this process, ink is applied to the surface and pushed into the recessed lines. The plate is then rubbed with a cloth to remove the excess ink from the surface. A damp piece of paper is placed on top of the plate, so that when going through the press it can be squeezed into the plate’s ink-filled grooves. The printing press applies very high pressure to push the ink from the grooves onto the paper.

“Siegerin”, Hans Ticha (DE)
About the art
The ironic comments in the artworks to the DDR’s regime self-image act as qualified complements to gain insight into German history and present, seen through Hans Ticha’s sceptical and critical eyes. German Hans Ticha delivers with his oil paintings a first-hand narrative of how it was to live in a divided Germany during the struggle of ideologies. The artist lived until the fall of the Wall in East Germany and moved immediately thereafter to West Germany.
Known for his amazing graphic works and more than 60 book illustrations, Ticha’s social criticism becomes no less snappy when he is adjudicating the symbol of Western society of the DDR youth organization, the blue shirt, which had been replaced by the bare skin while the brother kisses became kisses from Ferrero. His paintings contain a wealth of historical references, which ranges from the great political scene to the individual citizen’s daily life during and after the regime.
About the artist
Hans Ticha is one of the most important contemporary German graphic artist and illustrator who have experienced and described the last 50 years of Germany’s daily life and history through his artworks. The human is the central figure in Ticha’s works, often with grotesquely enlarged hands and small faceless heads.
