Böcker av Stefan Marx

2019 begann Stefan Marx mit seiner Serie von Monotypien. In Zusammenarbeit mit dem Berliner Siebdrucker Björn Wiede entwickelte er seine eigene Arbeitsweise: In drei Arbeitsgängen entstehen drei Einzelbilder - ein positives, ein negatives und ein »Geisterbild«, der ghost. An diesem neuen Ansatz faszinierten ihn zunächst der fette Farbauftrag und die Intensität der Pigmente. Beim Farbauftrag wird die Bildoberfläche selbst nicht berührt - die Bildfindungen ergeben sich über die Bearbeitung des Drucksiebs. Ein großer Teil dieser Monotypien sind Schriftbilder, doch es gibt ebenso figürliche Bildmotive, darunter Tierzeichnungen und andere Zeichen aus dem Motivinventar von Stefan Marx.Dieses Buch schließt an den Band Schriftbilder an: Auch Monotypien hat Stefan Marx als Künstlerbuch entwickelt und arbeitet mit einer faszinierenden Verschränkung zwischen den Abbildungen der Werke und den Entwurfskizzen aus seinen Notizbüchern.STEFAN MARX (*1979 Schwalmstadt, Hessen) ist Zeichner, Skateboarder und Kulturphilosoph. Seine unverwechselbare Handschrift findet sich auf Papier, Leinwand, Porzellan und Textilien. Er entwirft für verschiedene Labels, veröffentlicht im Eigenverlag Zines, zeigt seine Arbeiten bei zahlreichen internationalen Ausstellungen, Art Book Fairs und in Galerien. Marx lebt und arbeitet in Berlin.

In "Das Kapitel" (¿), Stefan Marx wanders around highly commercialized New York, deals with human feelings and forms of life on both sides of the Atlantic, documents superficial materialism and contrasts it with typefaces made up of quotes and lines. In 52 drawings, Stefansan shows a chapter of our present. From right to left.

The Medium and the Message Words become images-writing, drawings, designs. For around twenty years Stefan Marx has been studying script. Lines of songs, sayings, sentences, and quotations, which he then translates in his own script, his graphic writing, into paintings or drawings-two-dimensional surfaces. The poetry of the statements and the painterly quality of the execution combine to form strong works of art. Marx develops each of his pieces with great precision for the specific situation, for the individual work of art, regardless of whether it is an edition, a unique work, a house, or a small invitation card. This is the first book about his Word Paintings in their many varieties and in all media. Essays explain Marx's drawing, printmaking, and painting, as well as his unique interplay of art and pop culture, sign and life.STEFAN MARX (*1979, Schwalmstadt) is an artist, a skateboarder, and a cultural philosopher.
