About a decade ago, Deutsche Bank initiated the Artist of the Year
program. On the occasion of its 10th anniversary it is now for the
first time awarding three artists at the same time: Maxwell
Alexandre, Conny Maier, and Zhang Xu Zhan. What all three have in
common is that they came to contemporary art via unusual paths and
bring very specific life experiences and cultural influences with
them. Maxwell Alexandre was born in Rocinha, Rio de Janeiro’s
largest favela, where he still lives today. The paintings and
installations of the artist of African descent revolve around
community and violence, hip-hop and spirituality. Conny Maier lives
and works in Berlin and Portugal and is one of the most important
discoveries in the current German painting scene. Maier’s art
reflects a world shaped by representation and materialism, in which
people seem to lose control. Zhang Xu Zhan was born in 1988 into a
family that has been making and trading in traditional paper
figurines for over a century. His stop-motion films, staged in
immersive installations, take us into the realm of nature spirits
and demons. With translations of the text about the work of Maxwell
Alexandre in Brazilian Portuguese, with translation of the text
about the work of Conny Maier in German and with a translation of
the text about the work of Zhang Xu Zhan in Chinese. Text in
English, Portuguese, Chinese and German.
