Jens Stickel is a painter. His painting is concrete to the extent that it most often does without external references to the painting itself and concentrates radically on color and its treatment; on the other hand, it is abstract where it explicitly uses subjects external to the painting to transpose them into painting” Jörg van den Berg.
This large format edition gives pride of place to the images and the strength of the colors, those of Jens Stickel's paintings. Explanatory texts, photographs of works in exhibitions and close-ups of the painter's paintings allow us to immerse ourselves in the world of this solar artist. Co-published by the Karlsruhe Academy of Fine Arts and the CEAAC, this catalog follows Jens Stickel's residency in Strasbourg in 2017 as part of the Strasbourg/Stuttgart exchange program.
