Artist
Sebastian Gögel *1978
About the work
Not only works by Gögel the painter get under your skin, so do those by Gögel the graphic artist, sculptor, photographer and tattooist. Here, the head does not serve a portrait, instead it is transformed into a highly convoluted building. We see stairways, volutes, plinths, sculptures and paintings that enable us to look into the inner world of a creator. Looking from without gives way to seeing within – and to a shudder in the face of what emerges into view beneath it. Gögel’s works are like a symbiosis between revived expressionist graphic elements and an objectified verism.
