Christoph Niemann (*1970) works internationally as an illustrator and graphic designer, has published various books and regularly draws covers for ‘The New Yorker’, ‘National Geographic’ and ‘ZEIT Magazin’. In 2017, he was portrayed in an episode of the Netflix series ‘Abstract: The Art of Design’. On his Instagram channel @abstractsunday, 1.1 million people follow his weekly illustrations and animations.

The exhibition on two levels of the Horst Janssen Museum is intended to provide an overview of his work. This includes almost iconic drawings, poetic watercolours, astonishing photographic and film collages, which mostly play humorously with our perception, as well as optical spatial alienations and many offers to get creative yourself.
