Wolfgang Tillmans Art

German, b. 1968

Wolfgang Tillmans is a contemporary German photographer. Emerging in the 1990s with his snapshot documentation of youths, clubs, and LGBTQ culture, Tillmans is a worthy successor to Nan Goldin. Captivated by his surroundings and circle of friends, his images are often more abstract and elusive than Goldin's, yet similarly document his experiences and encounters both within his domestic sphere and via travel.

Tillmans won the Turner Prize in 2000 and was one of the most provocative and contested recipients in its history. Not only was he the first photographer to ever win, but he was also the first winner born outside of the United Kingdom.

By Mukesh Sharma

Located in Norfolk, GB

There is a natural and raw understanding in Mukesh Sharma’s prints that both depict, and are influenced by, the Rajastani communities of his home town in rural India. In these Limited Edition fine-art prints, made over a period of twenty years, we are offered the colours of India’s ancient land, the textures, light and the patterns that are everywhere. In the patterns of the arable fields to the jali's (carved screens) in the architecture. This work is however not romantic nor nostalgic but shows a deeper rooted need to offer a visual heritage of place, of where the artist is from and the journey that he is taking. The results are both compelling and honest. Mukesh Sharma, Celebration B, Lino-cut on Drawing paper Edition: 3 of 5, 2005 Image size: 47 x 39 cm / Sheet size: 79 x 55 cm Unframed Mukesh Sharma's work: It is often in childhood that paths are set for what we will become. Mukesh Sharma hails from a rural, agricultural village in Rajasthan, India. His Father is a craftsman who fixed and mended farm machinery and understood the working parts in the processes. Sharma followed in his Father’s footsteps, as is often the case in Indian families, but his was not the machines of the fields but the presses of the printing studio. Like his Father, Mukesh Sharma is fascinated with understanding how things work and how he can manipulate the metal in his hands. It is not surprising then that his medium of choice is printing. One of the most physically challenging of all the practices, it can often be physically challenging as well as technical and detailed. In his youth, Sharma would draw with stones on walls and floors. He was lucky his family encouraged this and he is grateful for his early art-training at the Jaipur School of Art but it was at the Baroda Art Department that he was introduced to the great printing traditions of Jyoti Bhatt...

Wolfgang Tillmans (b. 1968) established his reputation in the mid '90s with his eclectic multi-format version of photography that documented the youth and clubs of his generation with a particular interest in LGBTQ culture and spaces. A worthy successor of Nan Goldin, Tilmans is similarly captivated by his surroundings and circle of friends, yet his images are often more abstract or indirect than Goldin's. Tillmans similarly documents his experiences and encounters both within his domestic sphere and via travel, often highlighting overlooked or idiosyncratic details of daily life. Tillmans won the prestigious British Turner Prize in 2000. He was one of the most provocative and contested recipients in its history. Not only was the artist the first photographer to ever win, but he was also the first winner born outside of the U.K. Tillmans' body of work is vast and holds no allegiance to genre, school or production methodology. Tillmans has worked in fashion photography, portraiture, still life, collage and installation. Part of his success and appeal is his mix and avoidance of hierarchies of medium and subject matter. Tillmans' photography frequently features clothing, specifically athletic wear and red clothing...
