David Ilzhoefer (b.1990, Germany), graduated from Anke Doberauer Studio, Academy of Fine Arts Munich in 2022, and won the GOPEA art award in 2021. He draws painting inspiration from many images in daily life, such as screenshots, old-fashioned postcards, religious illustrations, statues, cartoons and social portraits. Benefiting from past and present visual culture, his works cover different ages and thoughts, and depict various viewpoints on contemporary issues, which are mutually contradictory in most cases, and open up spaces for further reflection. In his creative practice, he handles fragmentary images skillfully, and confirms certain meaningful moment amid image evolution by enhancing or eliminating certain elements.
