Klaus Killisch, born 1959 in Wurzen, is one of Berlin’s most influential artistic voices.
Trained at the Berlin-Weißensee Academy of Art in the 1980s, he developed a multi-faceted practice combining painting, drawing, music, and collaborative projects. His works, marked by cultural and political influences from the late GDR, have been shown internationally, including at the Venice Biennale and the Hamburger Bahnhof National-galerie der Gegenwart in Berlin. Killisch combines expressive colour with references from pop culture, literature, and fashion photography. The silkscreen print presented here shows his characteristic combination of powerful imagery and concise form. Flaming dynamism meets graphic rigor; the motif appears like a frozen, explosive moment of urban reality. The tension between destruction and aesthetic alienation makes the work an intense, contemporary statement.
