Electric Eyes

They were six. we were only two.

I immediately knew we were going to loose this fight. But we were already on them.

A mess of breath, blood and sand. my heart – a beat on the temples.

Flicker. Timeless. Unthinking. Seconds of eternity.

The endless end and yet my jacked must be lying around somewhere.

Born in the former GDR, Einhorn is strongly influenced by the socio-political upheavals of the 90s. He played in punk bands from the mid-nineties onwards, eventually finding his way into visual arts via photography and music.

Having studied photography in Leipzig and also sculpture and newmedia with Astrid Klein, he enrolled in a master class with TalR at Düsseldorf Academy in order to concentrate more on painting.

The structured system of tiny picture elements lends them the air of digital-seeming, abstract painting. There is a special quality within the works reminding on urban graffiti fragments, large scaled advertisement prints and painterly gestures only using mesh, glue and raw pigments on canvas.

Music was to play an important role as an early means of expression. Electronic Music is totes related to his artworks. Like musicalbeats, the images’ pixel-like fragments are working their way through a delicate haze permeated by coloured light. Youth Culture and present an important backdrop for his pictures, like fleeting audiovisual impressions. It has been a sociocritical means of expression, processing dystopian visions of the future tapping into new technology.

I dig the way his mash-up method, making use of fabric, pigment, glue and colour, lends a rather object-like quality to his pictures, accounting for their striking presence within the space.
