Jördis Hirsch works as a freelance artist with a focus on screen printing in Berlin. After
studying ethnology and graphic arts in Marburg and Paris, she has been leading
workshops, exhibitions and art projects in an artist space called STATTLAB e.V. since
2015 and is one of the founders of the anarchoPvnk feminist art collective NACKT. She
received grands for artist residency programms in France, Italy, Tanzania and Mexico.
Her illustrations have been published in several Berlin newspapers like Junge Walt, Taz
and TipBerlin. As poster art, her interventions support the idea of streets as a public
gallery. Inspired by passing through the city, she specialises in the graphic depiction of
people and animals in a reduced archaic style . Subtle humour and socially critical
commentary are set in bold shapes of paper cutouts. She works mostly analogue,
combining elements of monotypie and materials from her immediate environment, that
she incorporates into the printing process.
1/1 Exhibition : Interface
Diverse in medium, approach and subjects, INTERFACE in an eclectic group exhibition presented by 4 artists based in Berlin. Zemin Gallery serves as the focal point where the different works meet and interacts. The contemporary, religious and satyrical paintings of Camille Theodet clashes with the mystical and intimate paintings of Lucas Ngo, creating a confrontation in between dream and reality, exploring subjects such as the human body, the iconography, the memory, in two very different languages that, yet, can compliment each other. The new serie of screenprints “FACES OF THE STREET” of Jördis Hirsch, proposes a graphic depiction of people and animals in a reduced archaic style. In subtle humour and socially critical commentary, her works are set in bold shapes of paper cutouts and interacts with the poetic and detailed drawings of Julien Vallé, who shows interest in spirituality and meditation, and tries to fill the void with detailed and repetitive content. INTERFACE proposes four different point of view, that can converge towards the human, be it his body, his mind, his vices or his emotions.
