Christoph Liedtke

The large Atlas Spinner provides insight into the world of the artist Christoph Liedtke. His artistic practice wanders between disciplines, drawing fresh inspiration from each. The volume brings together paintings, poems, and photographs from over a decade. His art delves into the organic, where observations of details bend into universal parables. His unique understanding and sensitivity to plasticity and the inherent nature of the materials, which is impressively expressed in his photographs and paintings, mysteriously culminates in the composition and design of his language. Liedtke's photographs often seek motifs of scratches and everyday traces, in which the world abstractly self-portrays and reveals its rhythm. His poems, which expand limitlessly into all areas of life, are permeated by these reflections.
