Photo portrait "Frida Kahlo" (2020) with type of Saxa, limited screen printing

The art of Saxa alias Sascha Lehmann (born 1975) is the word painting. He writes his pictures, letter by letter. "Sometimes there are more than three thousand. You can get or transfigurate, create clarity or irritation, reach your head or belly ... or both," says the artist himself. Image and text are always in an interreloration, which creates the extraordinary tension of his works. In this way, Saxa always demands second glance from the viewer as a reader.
