The artist Steffen "Hoker" Mumm lives and works in Düsseldorf. His distinctive style is a combination of graffiti, calligraphy, illustration and painting, which he has explored in various media and materials over many years in an experimental approach. With each brushstroke, each spray-painted line, each sculpted object, he not only explores his own identity and personal growth, but also invites viewers to engage with the various facets of being human.
Trademark objects are the "Heads," which he has focused on in recent years. Their tension and emotionality arise from the fact that the artist creates them as intuitively and spontaneously as he does with attention to detail and technical precision. The heads and their expression are individual and at the same time subordinated to a unifying system. They are as multi-layered as human existence. Hoker's artworks invite us to dive into ourselves and discover the inner core that connects us all.
