Leon Eisermann is an artist born in former East Berlin in 1987.
He currently
lives and works in Berlin.
Working mostly in painting and sculpture, Eisermann
investigates enduring symbols within popular culture's artifacts and clichés,
sampling and weaving together imagery from current events with nostalgic
tropes. His visual practice is greatly informed by his experiences working
within the club and techno landscapes of post-wall Berlin and by the city's
rapid transformation towards capitalism. His work seeks to tease out the dual
nature of humor, as it encompasses deep fear, desperation, and melancholia.
Leon Eisermann's residency is based on the invitation of curator
Christina Gigliotti.
This residence in MeetFactory is in collaboration with the Goethe Institute in Prague.http://gillmeierrech.com/index.php/leon-eisermann/
