Berlin based artist Andy Hope 1930 (*1963 in Munich) is known for crossing and contrasting his basis in Modernism with stylistic elements from pop culture. His practice spans a variety of media. Things, forms, properties, techniques, references, genres, attitudes and stories coincide, but without ever giving the impression of being custom-fit, for gaps and inconsistent materials are intentionally allowed to remain. Elisions and proliferations occur, and, most notably, surprising hybrids which move between historic monuments, relics of the contemporary and spectres of futuristic fantasies.
An Impossible Place is related to SCI-Fi stories and B-Movies from the 1950s. It shows a typical hybrid of collage and painting as well as it particularly demonstrates Andy Hope 1930’s great capability to create unique image ideas.
