Danger Zone 1

Thomas Riesner / Artist Statement: I was born in Leipzig, Germany in 1971 and I still live there today. Already in elementary school, I often painted “abstract “instead of the given concrete drawing. I later retained this style or changed it to “abstract figuration.” I painted a lot at home, always without professional guidance. I didn’t have any specific role models. When I start a picture, I only have a certain idea, but often something completely different emerges. I would describe myself as an outsiderart artist.
