Beautiful Chaos – at the Patrick Jones Gallery
Patrick Jones Gallery is bringing an international duo exhibition, showcasing the dynamic and innovative works of German artists Johannes Ehemann and Steffen "Hoker" Mumm. This show, titled "Beautiful Chaos," invites viewers to immerse themselves in a world where calligraphy, personal development, and artistic exploration converge to redefine the boundaries of contemporary art.
Steffen "Hoker" Mumm, a prolific artist based in Düsseldorf, is renowned for his distinctive style that seamlessly blends graffiti, calligraphy, and illustration. His exploration of various media and techniques over the years has culminated in the development of his signature "heads," which have become symbolic of his artistic journey. Mumm's artworks serve as a reflection of his personal growth and offer viewers a unique opportunity to delve into a realm where meticulous attention to detail and intuitive expression intertwine. Steffen is an artist who knows how to combine his passion and desire for growth with an intuitive and free approach. His artworks invite viewers to explore the intricacies of his creative process and experience the evolution of his artistic journey firsthand.
In contrast, Johannes Ehemann's path to art was unconventional, shaped by years of involvement in ice hockey and the search for individuality within group dynamics. Art provided Ehemann with a sanctuary—a place of freedom, growth, and self-expression, which he stepped into leaving behind his world of structured team sports.. His transition to painting at the age of 18 marked the beginning of a transformative journey fueled by an insatiable aspiration to push boundaries and embrace limitless creativity. Johannes' artworks speak to his unwavering passion and commitment to exploring the limitless possibilities of self-expression. His paintings, characterized by their unique shapes and innovative use of materials, offer viewers a glimpse into his boundless imagination and evolving artistic identity.
"Beautiful Chaos" promises to be a captivating exhibition that celebrates the intersection of calligraphy, personal development, and artistic experimentation. By showcasing the distinct yet complementary styles of Johannes Ehemann and Steffen "Hoker" Mumm, the event invites audiences to embark on a journey of exploration and discovery within the realm of contemporary art.
