Jens HANKE
Jens Hanke was born in Eilenburg (Germany) in 1966. He studied at the Leipzig Academy of Fine Arts (HGB). In 1994, a DAAD scholarship allowed him to go to Chicago, USA, where he spent 6 years. He has been living and working in Berlin since 2000. Hanke’s work has many associative meanings. He is concerned with the phenomenon of perception as a psychological process. He uses elements of modernism and surrealism and weaves them into a visual network of different pictorial worlds. His multi-layered work includes drawings, books, collages, paintings and large wall installations. His works have been shown in many solo exhibitions in Germany, Switzerland and the USA, and are to be found in numerous private and public collections.
