Essay Thomas Hartmann. In diesem Jahr kacken die Störche anders for the artist’s solo exhibition with the same title at Galerie Georg Nothelfer in Berlin. „The early paintings of the 1980-90s often show vast, almost overwhelming natural and urban landscapes. In the later works, the artist seems to zoom into these tableaux, subjecting them to a close-up.“
