About Christian Awe

Working in tune with the times - this is how the artist Christian Awe, who was born in 1978 and lives and works in Berlin, creates works of the most diverse sizes, full of emotional intensity. In the meantime, the former student of the Berlin University of the Arts has achieved international success, to which solo exhibitions in Istanbul, Perm (Russia) and Miami bear witness. He has also taught at Princeton and Yale University.

His well-considered compositions delight with their powerful colourfulness and fascinate with their complex surface structure. The artist creates these through the use of different materials such as acrylic paint, ink, and varnish as well as through the combination of classical painting, drawing and spraying techniques. Layer by layer, Awe works out the unmistakable effect of his artworks, repeatedly removing and reapplying isolated sections of the picture.

The resulting impression of randomness in his pictures on canvas, paper and the facades of houses reveals an engagement with the gestural painting after 1945. Thus, these works establish a new and quite unique type of Abstract Expressionism.
