<p>Justine Otto (b. Zabrze, Poland, 1974; lives and works in Hamburg and Berlin) is one of the most promising artists on the contemporary painting scene. An aficionado of the absurd, she unfolds a metaphysical-psychedelic and often gaudily lustrous cosmos in pictures in which representation clashes with abstraction. In her early work, girls, women, and animals were here preferred subjects; more recently, she has painted heroes— the protagonists in myths of masculinity. After generals, officers, and strategists, she has now turned her attention to cowboys, who appear on horseback or resting under a tree, musical instrument in hand. Justine Otto studied fine art and painting with Peter Angermann and Michael Krebber at the State Academy of Fine Arts (Stä delschule) in Frankfurt am Main and obtained an MFA in 2003. She also worked as a scene designer at Stä dtische Bü hnen Frankfurt, the city’ s municipal theater company. Her paintings are held by collections including the Hessisches Landesmuseum, Darmstadt; Museum Franz Gertsch, Burgdorf, Switzerland; and the Phillips Art Collection, Washington, D.C.</p>

<p>'Rooms of fragments' is how Tilo Baumgärtel (1972) describes his artworks. That is a perfect description. Because when one looks at one of his works, it is never entirely clear what is happening. Different elements alternate each other in colorful and fairytale-like worlds, creating a high degree of intrigue and alienation: what has happened here? Or better yet, what is about to happen? Baumgärtel can be considered one of the most remarkable Leipzig artists of his generation. He graduated from the Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst in 2000 and is often considered to be part of the so-called 'Neue Leipziger Schule'. Text in English and Dutch.</p>
