"The exhibition with Kaspar Dejong showcased a fascinating series of paintings titled 'Soon 11 Billion.' Three works from this series, namely 'More is More,' 'Nah, Not Really,' and 'But Right Away,' were displayed at the exhibition. All the artworks were paintings, where the information was not meticulously applied with a brush but hastily scratched into the surface. These expressive and chaotic markings give the works a unique sense of dynamism.
The series 'Soon 11 Billion' was created during a shared creative period in a studio in Berlin. It delves into the theme of overpopulation and critically examines the overconsumption prevalent in the Western world. The artworks shed light on the question of what it means to provide everything to everyone. They invite the viewer to contemplate the consequences and challenges of a world with a projected population of soon 11 billion people.
Through the hasty scratchings and the deliberate rejection of careful brushwork, the series creates an immediate visual impact. It reflects the uncontrollable drive for consumption and the unsustainability of our current way of life. With each artwork, it initiates a critical dialogue that encourages viewers to question their own attitudes towards overpopulation and overconsumption.
By highlighting the urgency and complexity of the topic, the series 'Soon 11 Billion' prompts individuals to reflect on their own roles and responsibilities within the global context."
