Human XXIX (2025) Desenho por Jakob Spohn

Born in 1987 and raised in Dortmund (Germany), I have been living in the countryside near Göttingen since 2014 where I work as a carpenter. At the end of 2023 I decided to focus on my artistic    work and now use my craftsmanship and artistic experience, as well as my workshop.

   One of my main areas of work are sculptures. Wood is the central material of my objects, in which different types of wood and different states of processing are used. In combination with modern    materials, a specific aesthetic is created in which the materials sometimes complement and sometimes contrast with each other. The objects designed in this way reveal similarities with everyday    objects on the one hand, but also deviate from them on the other, thus revealing the unknown.

   Another focus of my work are drawings that concentrate on people, either entirely, sometimes just the head, or just the face. The focus is often not on specific people, but on the depiction of    expression and facial expressions, the concrete as well as the indeterminate. The drawings, which oscillate between chaos and definition, are made with charcoal or ink on paper.

   The overriding theme of my works is the human being as a social subject and the consequences that arise from the purposes of a society, for example the relationship between people and the    environment or the relationships and relations between people.
