Johannes Ehemann (b. 1996, DE) challenges our perception of objects by creating three-dimensional works on two-dimensional surfaces. Before transitioning to art, he pursued a career as a professional ice hockey player, constantly traveling and living without a fixed home. Now, through his artistic practice, he has established a sense of place - allowing art itself to become his home.

To Ehemann, art is the purest form of self-expression. It's a space where he can continuously evolve and challenge boundaries. His process often begins with everyday materials such as paper or simple objects. Through folding, crumpling, or deforming the items, he adds new meaning. Small, artifact-like forms are then sketched onto wood, cut, and painted with acrylics. This method ensures that each piece holds its own unique character and speaks to the transformation of the mundane into something evocative.

Ehemann states that his works are part of an ongoing process rather than a fixed endpoint. To him, it's gratifying to witness how early ideas, once fragmented or abstract, mature into tangible, refined expressions of his artistic vision. It serves as a reminder that creation is as much about the journey as it is about the destination.
