Jan Christoph Wagner

b. 1997, Frankfurt (Main).

In my artistic practice, I explore the human condition and interpersonal relationships – themes like fear, love, death, loneliness, and identity. Through exploratory drawing, constant reshaping of structure, form, color, and content, I create experimental paintings that expand my visual vocabulary. Inspired by artists such as Georg Baselitz, Willem de Kooning, David Hockney, and R.B. Kitaj amongst many others, I break down styles and integrate collage elements to reveal the deconstruction and reconstruction of the human experience.
