About the Artwork:
“The last three years were full of negative news about the pandemic crisis, climate change, war, and artificial intelligence. Sometimes I’m worried and think about better places to move or how humans will end up in several years. We are stupid. Maybe we have to change planet, ’cause we fucked up Earth. I love space and astronauts. So maybe not the worst solution.” – Miriam Frank
About the Artist:
(Artist Bio)
Miriam Frank (*1985 / Munich, Germany) grew up with an artist-Mum and got in contact with colours and pencils quite early. She studied Design at University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Augsburg (Master of Arts) and focused on illustration. Miriam Frank got interested in materials and surfaces, experimented with different dimensions and tools. Pen on paper, brush on canvas, hands on clay, saw through wood, tattoo needle under the skin. A naive-looking formal language meets bright color overlays and structures. The figurative, human and nature are in focus. She finds inspiration mostly through traveling and meeting other cultures. Especially the drifting Tokyo and the lonely nature of Iceland are recurring themes in her work. Since 2009 she works as an artist and tattooist in Munich, Reykjavik, Amsterdam and Barcelona.
