Super Future Kid
Super Future Kid, born in 1981 in East Germany, infuses her vibrant artworks with a kaleidoscopic blend of color and emotion that reflects her unique post-Berlin Wall upbringing. Having delved deep into the realm of pop culture, her work is a playground of color-drenched characters caught in transient states of mind.
After her formal training at the KHB – Weißensee Academy of Art Berlin, where she graduated in 2008, Super Future Kid moved to Brooklyn, New York, to continue her artistic endeavors. Her international exhibitions span cities such as Amsterdam, Berlin, Los Angeles, and Miami, with notable solo shows in Copenhagen, Hong Kong, Los Angeles, New York, and Tokyo.
Super Future Kid's work is celebrated for its immersive quality. Her art serves as an avatar for self-exploration and a reflection on the human condition. Through her expressive and playful landscapes, Super Future Kid invites viewers into a world where reality and fantasy intermingle, and the human figure becomes a canvas for identity and existential musings.
Artist Statement
Super Future Kid's work is a reflection of her ongoing quest for eternal childhood while simultaneously reflecting on the fragile nature of our physical being—a temporary vessel that over time succumbs to the inevitable cycles of breaking down and giving way to new existence.
The central figure, an avatar representing the artist's personal journey into self-awareness, is presented in a dynamic interplay of deconstruction, creation, and playfulness, showing elated views on life that give viewers a chance to engage with their own childlike senses of wonder and play while also exploring the delicate transience of the human form and mind.
Super Future Kid captures the essence of existence as a sequence of eternal rebirth, where destruction paves the path for new life, echoing our emergence from the cosmic dust of expired stars.
