Biography:

Bio
David Datuna (1974–2022)

Born in Tbilisi, Georgia, David Datuna established his career in New York, He practiced as a self-taught artist. His work mainly explored cultural, political and social identity, with optical lenses serving as his signature medium. These lenses fractured and layered imagery, symbolizing both individual perception and collective vision.

Datuna’s mix media works incorporated photographs, paint, text and clippings from popular media, often arranged over flags, portraits and iconic symbols. In dialogue with Pop Art, he drew on familiar imagery not to glorify it, but to probe how societies construct and, consume their own icons.

His career included solo exhibitions at major institutions such as the Smithsonian, collaborations with organizations including Google Glass and the Lincoln Center and international projects like Viewpoint of Billions, which invited audiences to experience art through wearable technology.

In December 2019, Datuna captured global attention at Art Basel Miami by eating Maurizio Cattelan’s artwork Comedian, a banana duct-taped to the wall that had sold for $120,000. He titled his act Hungry Artist, framing it as a performance and commentary on value, consumption and the absurdity of the art market. This provocative gesture became one of the most talked about moments in recent art history, cementing his reputation as a socially engaged artist unafraid of challenging institutions.

Beyond his art, Datuna established philanthropic initiatives following his own battle with cancer, founding The Fund for Life and the Life Award to support medical research and lifesaving work.

David Datuna passed away in 2022 at the age of 48.

Statement:

“Generally my paintings explore the allegorical potential of naturalistic elements set within dreamlike combinations, which collage recollections of real experiences and observations into imagined scenes. I enjoy combining contrasting pictorial elements and using both naturalistic and cubistic painting conventions along with gestural expression.

The paintings often have a slow gestation, even if rapidly executed, so as with previous work there are layers of thought sequences accumulated within them. They have a decorative attraction but always with underlying content, essentially exploring my own picturing of some universal themes within our human condition”.

Claus Potthoff

Rusa Makowski — Wed, 05 Mar 2025 07:09:11 +0000

Claus Potthoff

Biography:

Claus Potthoff (*1963 in Stuttgart / Germany) has had quite an impressive career.
From his early days studying product and automotive design at the University of Applied Sciences in Pforzheim / Germany (1985-1989), to his extensive work in the automotive industry across various countries, he’s certainly gathered a wealth of experience. His journey has taken him from Germany to the Moscow / Soviet Union (1987), Tokyo / Japan (1994), and Santa Monica / California (2007 2009), allowing him to immerse himself in diverse cultures.
Since 2009, he’s been living in Munich / Germany, where he balanced his role as Director Design Strategy at Audi AG with his passion for photography. His photographic work is known for its diverse content and aesthetics, reflecting his curiosity and desire to explore different perspectives.
From summer 2021 to spring 2024, he was part of the interdisciplinary artist group SUPER+ ATELIERS at Kunstlabor 2 in Munich.

In late 2023, he made a significant life change by resigning from his design position and moving to Beijing / China with his wife, establishing it as his secondary center of life.

Statement:

“I first developed this perspective on architecture in 2015 during a visit to Paris.
My goal was to capture a clean view of buildings, isolated from the crowded
urban environment and any dramatic sky, focusing solely on the architecture itself.
By choosing the classic CinemaScope format with an extreme aspect ratio of 2.55:1, and employing exciting perspectives and layouts full of tension, I create my personal vision on architecture.
Arranging two or four images of the same building into a graphical cluster transforms the original appearance into a completely new and fascinating aesthetic abstraction”.

Statement:

“My work explores transformation as a process of unbecoming shedding imposed identities, conditioned beliefs, and inherited narratives to reveal an untamed, original self. The organic, fluid textures mirror the psyche’s unraveling, where forms crack, dissolve, and regenerate in an endless cycle of becoming and unbecoming. Rooted in both psychological and environmental themes, my paintings blur the boundary between inner and outer worlds, drawing parallels between human metamorphosis and nature’s resilience. I am deeply interested in humanity’s psychological connection with nature and the consequences our everyday actions have on the environment. Working with fragile ecosystems, I create artwork inspired by locations specific to each project, exploring themes ranging from coral bleaching and deforestation to cultural associations with the natural world”.

Jürgen now lives and works near Brussels,
Belgium.

Statement:

“My work is deeply rooted in my love for nature and light, much like the Impressionists. When I paint, I seek moments of tranquility, often found in the early morning as nature awakens. My landscapes reflect a pure connection with the natural world, untouched by human presence. Recently, I’ve explored cityscapes, treating urban elements with the same reverence as nature, as surfaces for light to dance upon. These pieces continue my journey of capturing the essence of my surroundings and the quiet nostalgia they evoke.”

Statement:

“My art explores the horizon as a symbol of endless possibilities and new beginnings. Through vivid colors and dynamic compositions, I aim to convey a sense of freedom and expansiveness. My work reflects the boundless nature of the sky and landscape, encouraging viewers to transcend their limitations and embrace the beauty around them. Each painting is an invitation to experience a sublime, unbounded space where nature’s surprises and vitality come to life.”

Dieter List

Biographie:

Dieter List stammt aus Hamburg und ist seit mehr als 10 Jahren ausschließlich als Künstler tätig. Bei dem von ihm genutzten Material handelt es sich um Gipsbinden, mit denen er dreidimensionale Objekte, Gipsreliefs, durch zwei verschiedene Techniken formt.

Bei der einen Technik geht es ihm um Landschaften. Über einen Maschendrahtunterbau installiert er drei Lagen von Gipsbinden und versieht die Binden mit starken Konturen. Diese lackiert der Künstler mit unterschiedlichen Farben in einer speziellen Technik, so dass der Betrachter, je nach dessen Blickwinkel, ein immer anderes Farberlebnis erhält. Er nennt diese Technik „DreiSicht“.

Bei der anderen Technik geht es List um das Spiel von Licht und Schatten in Räumen. Hier arbeitet er auch mit Gipsbinden, jedoch nutzt er ein ganz anderes Verfahren. Er streicht sie mit den Händen so glatt, dass die Gipsbinden nicht mehr die typischen Löcher aufweisen, sondern eine glatte Oberfläche aufweisen. Diese mehrlagigen Objekte erinnern an Architektur und sind strenger, skulpturaler und puristischer. Daher bezeichnet Dieter List diese Technik als „Pure“.

Ausstellungen & Kunstmessen (Auswahl):

Zahlreiche Ausstellungen und Teilnahme an Kunstmessen u.a. in Deutschland, Luxemburg, Ungarn, Italien, der Schweiz, Schweden, dem Vereinigten Königsreich, Frankreich, Belgien, USA, V.A.E, China und Hongkong.

Der Künstler über sein Werk:

„Ich hätte nie ‘nur’ Malerei machen können. Sie bietet nicht die gleiche Chance für Licht und Schatten, die räumliche Erfahrung wie sie bei dreidimensionalen Objekten möglich ist.“
