• A typical representation of a blond boy in the early 2000s, a motif Bisky once described as “done with a fabric softener.”
• An appealing contrast: with his pastel palette, Bisky echoes the visual language of Socialist Realism.
• According to the artist, this reference allows him to process images that shaped his youth in the GDR.
• Works by Norbert Bisky can be found in major international museums, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Seoul, and the Museum Ludwig in Cologne.
