Artt T W Pankow

Artt T W Pankow (b. 1976, Germany) moves fluidly between painting, drawing, collage, assemblage, sculpture and new media—crafting visual worlds where recognition falters and wonder begins. His works inhabit the threshold between memory and invention, where allegory dissolves into abstraction and the familiar reveals its strangeness. Pankow weaves poetic tension into his compositions, merging past and present, thought and sensation, fiction and fragment. His visual vocabulary draws on metaphor, rupture and rhythm—inviting the viewer not to decipher, but to drift, to feel, to reflect. With quiet intensity, he explores how images speak, how language haunts, and how meaning always moves. He lives and works in Zurich, Switzerland and Berlin, Germany.
