Carsten Fock's central medium is painting, the technical possibilities of which he constantly explores anew. He does not shy away from experimentation, whereby the boundaries between abstract, gestural-expressive painting and figuration remain in limbo. His works are always charged with thematic and self-reflective references and pose questions or raise problems. For the rooms of the Städtische Galerie Wolfsburg, Carsten Fock (*1968) has developed a spatial installation whose visual interplay between exhibition object and exhibition architecture irritates the usual ways of seeing. In his works, he repeatedly combines text with image, exploring a wide variety of themes from history, pop culture, art, fashion, advertising and politics

Carsten Fock studied at the Kunsthochschule Kassel and the Städelschule Frankfurt am Main.
