Artist Blog

Every week an artist whose single image was published by Der Greif is given a platform in which to blog about contemporary photography.

A few years ago I was sent by a magazine to photograph a travel feature about New England. We went to tiny villages named Gloucester and  Truro - both places where the american painter Edward Hopper spent a lot of time and found motives for his famous paintings. Although these places have changed since the 1920/30ies a lot I felt that the atmospehre of Hopper's work  is still present, so I started to think about what Hopper would be painting today and looked hopperesque places and situations. I was very lucky to have an exhibition with "Hopper's Land" at the very beautiful and prestigious Architektur Galerie in Munich and later on in Tübingen and having it coming up on  the 8. May until the end of July in the D.A.I. Freiburg
