ANDY LEUENBERGER - THE DANGER SERIES

“The Danger Series”

… is a series of screen-prints (wip since 2016) contemplating urbanization. The motifs are based on cities or towns I have travelled to or have a relation to and which I feel the need to make this comment on.

The Danse Macabre or Dance of Death, is an artistic genre of the Late Middle Ages on the universality of death: no matter one’s station in life, the Dance of Death unites all.

On a visit to Johannesburg, South Africa in 2016, I hung out with the printmakers from “Danger Gevaar Inkozi Studio”. We spoke of possibilities of a collaboration and they suggested I join in on their project, an evolving epic based on Dürers "Four Riders of the Apocalypse" set in Johannesburg, with each artist expanding on one of the riders. Being three at the time, they were missing the fourth: Death. I gladly took it on and on returning to Berlin made several ink drawings on the theme. Unfortunately the initial euphoria got depleted by busy schedules, distance and life and nothing became of this collaboration.

When I started screen-printing regularly, I produced a triptych of 3 colour prints using these drawings. To commemorate the initial intent I named them “Danger”, “Gevaar” and “Inkozi” respectively. This was the beginning of “The Danger Series”.

The group exhibition also features:
MATHIEU PAUGET- ROOM SERVICE
YUKI - PORTRAIT OF OUR FRIENDS
TOM SINGIER - FIESE FLIESEN

and exclusive prints from:
Ángeles Alarcón, Stéphane Hirlemann, Andrey Kasay, Nick Knapton, Martin Krusche, Romain Malauzat, Adeline Meilliez, Julie Miammmiam, Ben Sanair, Mathias Schmidt, Julia Sederholm, SP38 ...

„Shell Shocked Collection“ ist eine Zusammenarbeit des Modelabels Mesko und des Künstlers Andy Leuenberger.

"Shell Shocked Collection" is collaboration between the fashion-label Mesko and the artist Andy Leuenberger. Inspired by "Shell Shocked", a series of ink on paper drawings by Leuenberger, Mesko has designed an exclusive and wearable clothing collection. Black fabrics, asymmetric cuts, drapes, clear lines and screen-prints characterize this unique hand-crafted collection.

Mesko is fashion label making minimalistic, elegant, refined clothes with a touch of rebellious individuality. Set up in Slovenia in 1992, it moved to Zurich and is now based in Berlin. Using natural materials like fine cotton, viscose and wool, Mesko works with black fabrics, simple cuts and clear draperies. All clothing is handcrafted with extreme attention to detail.

Andy Leuenberger is an artist drawing from the comic genre, satire and the absurd. He regularly publishes art, cartoon and comic books and zines. Drawings, screen-prints and books are are presented internationally in exhibitions and at festivals for micropublishing, comic and printing art.

Shell Shocked

26.09. - 26.10.2018
Éditions Même pas mal, Marseille, France

"Shell Shocked" (2018), is a self-published book containing a series of ink on paper portrait drawings, in progress since 2016. “Shell Shocked” is the follow-up to “Making Space”, a series of drawings based on landscape long-shots, showing explosions, in news media. Shell shock is a term coined in World War I to loosely describe what is referred to as posttraumatic stress disorder (PSD) today. The mechanisation of artistic expression and the consequences of the ideals of Futurism are some further themes reflected on during the making of “Shell Shocked”. Drawings and screen-prints from this series were exhibited.

To lighten the atmosphere, drawings and prints in the style of the gags regularly posted on instagram.com/sirloin.burger, were also on display.

The exhibition was during a turbulent month in Marseille. I ended up moving my work-table into the exhibition, making it a work in progress situation and producing another body of work.
