John Trashkowsky is art for the big questions of our time. One that comes at us every day of the week from all sides. The mission is to surprise us out of our anti-psychotic, coffee-swilling, anxiety-ridden, pill-popping paranoia with products that make us want to jump out of our skin, with joy or irritation. The choice of ingredients is thrilling anyway.

Notes
The work of the artist was once described as „the laugh that remains in neck stuck". At the first sight, his work is very inviting, playful and accessible to all. While on the second sight has a deep message and is an argument with the big questions of our time. The topics come from the recent cover stories in the press and deal with politics, economics, environment, resources, war and the consequences for society. The selection of material is also very important for him. He often works with materials with symbolic power like dollars, barbwire, blood, a scale and so on. With this, he develops fresh and modern ready-made with a surprising and meaningful twist. The artist started as a teenager with graffiti, was a rapper in a Hip Hop group, works today in the creative industry and expresses his personal perspective of global conflicts in his work.
