Künstler Jonas Fleckenstein

Jonas Fleckenstein


Jonas Fleckenstein is an artist whose practice glides between painting, drawing and printmaking. Treating each medium as part of a larger continuum, he approaches every project with the eye of an analyst—testing which parameters truly define an image and when a picture tips over into object or space.


In carefully planned series such as his layer‑built drawings and the screen‑printed Sunset Souvenirs, Fleckenstein swaps spontaneous gesture for rigorous, step‑by‑step methods. Parallel lines, transfer foils and subtly shifted colour bands become tools for probing repetition, variation and perception. The result is a reduced yet sensuous body of work that invites viewers to question how they see, where technique ends and visual experience begins.
