Lukas Köllner (born 1991) presents his latest works. “The artist graduated from the Düsseldorf Art Academy in 2021 under Prof. Siegfried Anzinger and Prof. Katharina Wulff and creates colorful surreal figurative paintings. Köllner’s art is characterized by magical realism, which manifests itself in his works in the form of grotesque figures and abstract dream worlds. His narratives combine humorous aspects and underline the importance of personal experiences in his art.” (Wilko Austermann)

In an almost naive way, humans and animals come together here, behaving in a manner that is not entirely conventional. It is as if both are engaged in a rebellious dialogue, with the plumage ultimately slipping into an almost human role. Using strong, dense colors and airbrushing, the artist creates compositions that captivate us and refuse to let us go.
