Stohead

The fact that writing cannot be reduced to the most necessary information is also evident in the works of Christoph Häßler (1973) alias STOHEAD. The Berlin-based artist with roots in southern Germany has been working with calligraphy of various colors for over 25 years. 

Coming from the artistic urban context, he has developed a whole range of special fonts and hand styles, which are often captured on a variety of surfaces worldwide using homemade tools. However, the lettering alone is not enough for the artist. In the process of dissolution - death or rebirth - of the classical typefaces, the passion for playing with the material reveals itself in a high degree of abstraction.
