Jascha Wolfram sees his works, which are borrowed from the comic world, as metaphors that express the essence of a thing in a different form. Comic language makes it possible to create easy-to-read metaphors that are almost universally understood. Transferred to the large canvas format, the motif that was previously perceived as trivial becomes impressive gallery art.
A particularly beautiful example of this is Jascha Wolfram’s work “Kälteeinbruch (Cold Break)”. Kaflaaatsch! Brombel! Triggered by global warming, an avalanche of snow and ice rushes down the valley, burying a truck carrying a parade. The fish in the aquarium can hardly enjoy their newfound freedom because they have already been discovered by the flying seagulls. Stop! Seagulls in the mountains? Maybe climate change is already more advanced than we think…
