Jörg Schmitz (b. 1969 in Hannover, Germany) ist an established artist who focuses on transformation processes from writing to image. In the tradition of german informel and visual poetry

Schmitz explores and investigates the limitless potential of the alphabet and the handwritten gesture. Thus, he reflects one of the most relevant issues of our time: the fragmentation of our language as our basic communication system.

Schmitz’ oeuvre consists of multiple formats and techniques from drawing, collage or painting on to objects, prints and installations.
