Robert Hettich: “Playground” (2015), reproduction on aluminum plate

When Robert Hettich, a German of Russian descent, came to Germany in his mid-twenties in 1988, he was immediately able to establish himself as a graphic designer. He had studied graphic design, art, and painting in Leninabad, Tajikistan (now Khujand), an education that proved exceptionally solid because it placed great emphasis on imparting fundamental artistic knowledge and mastering practical techniques. Nevertheless, after studying at the Hanover University of Applied Sciences and Arts, he also completed a diploma examination in graphic design. This dual educational path may explain his versatility.
