The basis for Ackermann’s artistic approach is travelling. During his sojourns in different places all over the world he creates small drawings and aquarelles. These mostly abstract sketches, the so-called “Mental Maps”, portray urban structures and combine objectives of topography with the artist’s mental experiences of foreign cultures. These “Mental Maps” are the nucleus from which Ackermann develops his room filling and very colourful paintings. They often focus on references to contemporary crises in parts of the world which he has visited.
Apart from his drawings and paintings, Ackermann creates room filling installations which consist of a large array of different materials and sometimes also integrate everyday elements, such as furniture, clothes and magazines.
Franz Ackermann is to develop a new set of works for the Kunstmuseum Bonn where they will be exhibited for the first time.
