“In the best case my work should touch people and move them to think about their life. That’s what I am aiming for with my art. ” — SuperBlast
" In bursts of neon paint, Osterholt configures symbolic odes to our human condition and mortality. Through his use of vivid and unnatural colors, elements of nature, the celestial and the otherworldly are transfigured into warning signs, as if illuminated by the prophetic glow from an explosion elsewhere. Like a heatwave in fall, the paintings whisper age-old fables in the flicker of pink-orange candle light: an ancient cycle of birth and destruction binds humanity and the natural world. Osterholt also presents a series of ceramic masks which reference both the traditions of ancient ceremony and ritual, and hiding in plain sight. These themes are unified in the glow of a lightbox installation, which features in the show as a symbolic gesture towards the tension between light and dark." Text by Brit Seaton
Artist Info.
MANUEL OSTERHOLT aka SUPERBLAST
Manuel Osterholt is an artist living in Berlin, Germany. Born in Heidelberg (1976) to German/Greek parents on a hillside street called Philosopher’s Path, it’s no surprise he feels compelled to see the world from a different perspective. A self-taught painter living and working in Berlin since 2001, Osterholt decided from a young age to explore his artistic vision. Discovering the sparkling world of graffiti writing in 1989 opened up a whole new universe to him, which became channelled into a distinct personal style tinted by hip-hop, punk rock and skateboard culture. His naive, ancient-like workmanship has developed into vivid interpretations of spiritual imagery. With the aesthetics and vitality of subculture close to his heart, Osterholt explores the possibility of symbolism and mythology in everyday life.
