ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE ME

Title: ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE ME

Artist: Marc Jung

The painted work on wood ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE ME from 2020 captivates through its colourfulness and attention to detail with simultaneous abstraction. Marc Jung's work clearly quotes the portrait painting of the old masters and in this respect deals with one of the oldest genres in art history. Marc Jung does not follow any philosophical masters in his work. He is not guided by abstract thought constructs or artificial attempts to explain the world. Marc Jung reflects. Directly and without intellectual scruples, he shares with us his view of the world and the actors of our contemporary history. A chronicler who has left behind slogans and caricatures and brings the beauties and repulsiveness of our time to the screen and makes them tangible.

/ Marc Jung was born in Erfurt in 1985. His career testifies to the seriousness of his work from the very first moment of his artistic activity. He studied at the Bauhaus University in Weimar, at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna with Daniel Richter and was a master student with Wolfram Adalbert Scheffler at the Academy of Fine Arts in Dresden. His wonderfully loud form of expression on canvas shows the depth inherent in his works impressively and relentlessly.
