Untitled (Echo), Digital drawing, lambda print on aludibond, 80 x 60 cm, 2007
Katja Eckert
Katja Eckert was born in Rüsselsheim, Germany in 1976 and studied at the Hochschule für Gestaltung in Offenbach. Her drawings are often mistaken for photography and are in fact produced on the computer, where the artist with the aid of skillfully applied professional design programs realizes her very own  "Bildvorstellungen”. Thus she creates a cosmos of arcane beings often resembling small, vulnerable animals such as rabbits, hamsters, mice and  guinea pigs. Her humerous and highly imaginative drawings and paintings as well as her new films have recently been exhibited at Kunstmuseum Bonn, Institut für Moderne Kunst in Nürnberg, Dina 4 Projekte Munich, and Galerie Neue Kunst in Mannheim. The artist is currently represented by Dina 4 Projekte in Munich and lives and works in Frankfurt am Main, Germany.
