MATS KADE

Grooves and driving rhythms inspire Mats Kade’s creative process. His paintings correspond strongly with the unconscious and enter into dialogue with the viewer. While he primarily paints meditatively during the day, he creates excessive abstract works at night.

The painter works with many technically divergent layers. An interplay of free, uncontrolled movement and phases of reduction and control characterises his painting style.

Mats Kade lives and works in Dresden, Germany.

CLEMENS VOIGT

“Carving a sculpture is like a love story.”

Wood Artist Clemens Voigt is a true storyteller of wild wood found in the forest and transformed into magnificent wooden sculptures. Layer by layer he exposes the finest structures, carving, sanding and polishing until they come to life. Clemens is reading wood like a book. Layer by layer – page by page – the forest tells his own story.

After travelling the world, the multi-talented artist founded a musical instrument trading company. He is also head and organiser of the international Ancient Trance Festival. For him, wood carving is a balance between music world and being a Outdoorsman. Clemens Voigt lives and works in Leipzig, Germany.
