CHRIS VON STEINER






Asleep | 2008 | 73 x 100 cm | Inkjet print on canvas mounted on wooden frame

"I'm a digital artist. No brush, no paint, no pen. With my mouse, my computer… and a little help from Adobe Illustrator©, I try to tell strange stories and freaky tales, where people can loose themselves like I loose myself, sitting alone at dark in front of my computer, drawing, sampling, looping and editing what's in the tortured brain of the sick teenager I was and will always remain. Like a popstar whose striking good songs touch your heart and haunt your mind, I try to share my wildest dreams and my deepest fears. No rule, no key or theory to understand/explain my work. What You See Is What You Get: emotion."
