johanna wilhelm

I just cleaned out my email inbox, and I found so many emails I haven't yet responded to or interviews not yet posted. Oops! So today I bring you the work of Johanna Wilhelm, an artist already mentioned by a few interviewees on my site as an influence. Sorry Johanna, for not getting to this sooner. Anyway, her work is (like Sebastian's and Patrick's and Jonas') graphically fantastic. I've only included a few pictures here, but I urge you to look at the rest on her flickr.

Name (Real or Screename): Johanna Wilhelm
URL (Blog, Website): www.johannawilhelm.de.vu, www.flickr.com/photos/johannawilhelm
Location (Where are you from?): Würzburg (Bavaria), Germany

Q: Describe your work in 10 words or less.
A: Hm, I think this would be something like: colourful, mixed stuff, prearranged, undesigned, fast, slow-going, sometimes minimalistic... You see that's all different. ;)

Q: What do you like to work with (magazines, photographs, vintage)? Be specific!
A: Well being specific is not really easy... I've got a lot of different magazines at home. But I like to work as well with other things like photos, vintage stuff, transparencies etc.

Q: How long have you been creating collages and what made you start?
A: Wow, that's difficult. I think it all started when I was 14. We had to do a little collage work for school which was quite funny.

Q: Are you solely an artist, or do you work in another profession?
A: I like being creative but I wouldn't say that I'm solely an artist. I'm working as well as princess, troubleshooter.


Q: Do you have any formal art training?
A: No, I'm still attending school—I mostly do my works in my leisure time.

Q: Explain your favourite techniques.
A: Hm, there are no special techniques. I'm just doodling around and then I see what is going to happen.

Q: Describe your favourite piece ever created.
A: Well, these are some of my favorites (above). I don't really have a 'special' piece that I love so much.

Q: What other artists do you admire?
A: Patrick Beser, Jonas Fechner, Sebastian Waters, Laura Serra, Kriesse, Kacper Potega.

Thanks Johanna!
