  • interview

    The visual artist Diethard Sohn, pseudonym ditArdo, initiated comic cubism and shaped this style with his signature style.Journalist and valued network colleague Brigitte Muschiol spoke to ditArdo, who lives in Stuttgart. The result is an interview that is well worth reading and shows ditArdo to be a subtle, passionate and politically aware artist.

    Tania Königshagen Kulturmarketing comments on the interview that the Hamburg journalist Brigitte Muschiol conducted with me on her website as follows:

  • Art moves LE

    Art moves LE

    Some of the pictures will be shown here for the first time in public, including the “Jakarta Edition”, a small series of newly interpreted motifs from my time in Jakarta from 2005-07.

    Any proceeds from the sale of one or more pictures will of course go 100% to the artist and thus to the current and future art projects.

    30 years of comic cubism

    To mark this occasion, the KAMADO B10 GERMANY manufactory is releasing this hand-painted Kamado Kubicom in collaboration with ditArdo the comic cubist

    The Kamado KUBICOM is named after the Comic Cubism style developed by ditArdo, which ironically reflects the classical modernism of Georges Braque or Pablo Picasso and translates it into pop art-inspired comic strips.

    The transfer to the three-dimensionality of a Kamado cites the totality of perspective that once made Cubism a revolutionary art form.

    The origin and development of comic cubism

    At the beginning of the 1990s, ‘ditArdo’ developed his characteristic artistic language of ‘comic cubism’. The term ‘comic cubism’ was then coined by Fred Feuerbach in 2004 in connection with ditArdo’s paintings in front of a wide audience.

    The stylistic terms ‘comic’ and ‘cubism’ overlap in their formal approaches in ditArdo’s artistic language. The ‘comic’ is characterized by the means of line and surface, whereby the space is also defined by the surface. The striking effect is used together with synthetic ‘cubism’, the simultaneous and superimposed representation of different views or perspectives, to make high-contrast statements about the motif or experiences. The motif becomes a pictorial symbiosis of everyday experiences, dreams, lines, colors and structures. For example, the yellow tomcat stands for the image of laissez-faire, of roaming around in the midday sun. In the process of artistic observation, questions about the fourth dimension arise primarily in sunny Jakarta. What color are the streaks of light over the water, how much time is eight months, is time yellow, red or blue?
    These are just a few quotes from our lively email exchange in the ether.

    Brenda Figueroa’s ensemble with the Gabriel Battaglia Quartet, which makes tango music with guitar, two bandoneons, violin and piano, together with the singers Monica Rodriguez and Anibal Civilotti and the four dancing couples, immerse the senses in the atmosphere of the tango.

    With a collage of music, dance and images by young Argentinian and German artists, contame present their Tango Argentino in “Tango, una historia” – as Jorge Luis Borges, the Argentinian philosopher and writer, wrote: “One could say that it has its place in the universe, probably in a modest but happy way.”

    The tango is not just music, poetry or dance. Tango is also more than just a tradition or a fad. It is a movement that connects people elsewhere in Europe and with people in Argentina.
