Context
Ink drawings, linocuts, photocopies and computer drawings in strictly separated black and white bitmaps have formed an essential core of Sascha Boldt‘s artistic practice: ‘Anyone can make art. All you need is a piece of paper and a pencil.’ The clear design of forms and compositions with black color on the existing image carrier and the exciting charging of the same with complex themes and content unfolds a great fascination in a world full of possible visual spaces and options.

About Sascha Boldt
(*198X Bremen, DE) Sascha Boldt studied at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf under Albert Oehlen and works as a multi-conceptual artist in Berlin and Frankfurt am Main.
Working in a variety of media and in different bodies of work, Sascha Boldt uses his methodical and formal approaches to question our current living environment.
In his ‘hybrid constructs’, which are initially created digitally on the computer and finalized with analogue visual techniques, he addresses the fields of association, interfaces, connections and feedback loops of our current life between the virtuality of the metaverse and the associated rapture of humanity from the surrounding physical reality.
His oeuvre is characterized by themes such as climate change, the environment/activism, VR & AI, the relationship between digital humans and nature, high-performance society and burnout, as well as the use of social media and smartphones.
Sascha Boldts works are currently on view in group exhibitions at the SAP Headquarter and THE SPACE in Hamburg.
