Eighteen year old digital artist, Christian Jehle, has had a passion for art in all its forms throughout his whole life. Whether it’s digital art, traditional art, music or literature; he finds art as an unending source of fascination and a way to enrich his everyday life.In his artwork, he tries to uncover ideas and concepts that have never been visualized, things that lay deep in the unconscious and rest below the surface of perception. Then in uncovering, he hopes to inspire others and show new facets of themes whose previous investigations we take for granted. He views the computer as not a confinement of expression, but a door to a whole new set of perspectives, partly due to the construction processes it assumes from the user. User and machine in harmony complement one another.In addition to being an artist, he works for a number of Hamburg based agencies as a print and web designer; creating posters, screen designs, cd packaging and corporate identity. His long-term goal is to become more acquainted with the graphic industry and possibly study graphic design. For the time being, design remains one of his many interests as he keeps an open mind towards the direction his life may take.

Christian is currently available for commission. If you are interested feel free to send him an eMail!

Well to the actual image. The first step is society (circle) and individual (edgy shape, hence his later on edgy character) linked in a healthy and strong way. In step two and three the individual redefines its position in his environment. A disagreement may be the cause for that. Bonds are lost and slowly shrivel as if one had decided to completely break the bond between social life and his or herself. What is to be observed now is that both parties diminish which shows their strong interplay usually going on. The individual now actively opposes his former society by using its ideals against it. It is said that people in exile often feel enlightened and free spirited. Like-minded people eventually are drawn to the now much more polarizing single individual. Sub societies are founded (new small circle). In real life we know this as for example as Communism, Naturalism, Nazism, Anarchism or other (in our society's eyes) abnormal political consciousness. A new circle starts to grow which may start a new cycle. Now it is up to you to draw conclusions. May antisocial behavior be actually the most pro-social behavior there is?

This was one of a series of experimentations I did with Illustrator. I wanted to achieve certain dynamics for the image.

Cold Cut, an alternate version of this image, has been a featured image in the DiK Semi-Permanent 2006 book.

Nearly everything on this image is self made. I've cut that man out of a release of "Death Of A Salesman" by Arthur Miller and drew some stuff around him. Then I got some spray cans and applied some splatter. The rest was done with Illustrator.
