Information on Maximilian Lückenhaus
Information on the person: the computer scientist (PhD) Maximilian Lückenhaus lives and works in Munich (Germany). He owns an answering machine and a still working colour computer of 1989. As artist he creates artworks in form of graphics, paintings, electronic music, and last but not least comics and cartoons.
Artworks: The man behind the small art portal
www.wahre-kunst.de
sees himself as free thinker regarding genre and technique.
Therefore, his work covers realistic pencil drawings as well as
purely abstract computer graphic.
The main idea here is to create art that stands for itself, without the
constraints of commercialisation and of the simplifying messages of the
culture industry.
Instead, he tries to explore the possibilities of creativity in order
to come closer to the mystery which connects man with the surrounding
world.
Many artworks of Maximilian Lückenhaus try to examine the world
beyond its visible surface and also highlights the dark and irrational
seeming side.
Comics & cartoons: Maximilian Lückenhaus also works
with the instruments of the so-called "ninth art". Not only
because comics are an ideal medium for storytelling and to impart ideas,
but also because comics provide great possibilities of dramaturgy
(similar to movies).
Early comics of Maximilian Lückenhaus appeared in fanzines, of which
one also has been edited by him ("EVIV - Der Maulwurf").
Meanwhile Lückenhaus cartoons and comics have been published by the
"Süddeutsche Zeitung" or in the
"Münchener Merkur", also in online portals, and in many
publications of the Munich scene (e.g. Comicaze, Comicstrich, Anno Domini,
X-TRON, Comixs, Comic-INDEX, or the Hamburg Duck Art calendar). Sometimes
he wins a people's choice award (e.g. Comixs) and participates in several
exhibitions onm Munich, Stuttgart, and other places.
Maximilian Lückenhaus also publishs his own web comic.
Every week he shows a new comic strip of his comic
Murmeltiertrupp
at www.murmeltiertrupp.de.
Lückenhaus-Cartoons also decorate t-shirts of the
werkoderko fashion label.
Music: Addicted to the magic of synthetic sound, Maximilian Lückenhaus also composes and produces electronic music; basically to experiment with tone colours and create atmosphere by sound. Some tracks have ben released on CD so far, most tracks can be downloaded for free on portals (such as soundcloud, facebook). More information can also be found on the website of the tinopener's music web label.
