Art in Hotel Suites, Part 2: Alex Diamond X Belsers Hotel X Geberit

Yeah, so it took me quite a bit longer than I anticipated, but both these works are massive and detailed and heavy and, well, just a lot - but now the second work for the second suite at the Belsers Hotel in Nürtingen in collaboration with Geberit is ready. I am more than happy how both these woodcuts turned out and how well they harmonize with each other. I know, they will be in seperate rooms which will be further defined by their individual outcome, but I bellieve that both these suites should have the same feeling to them.

More about this beautiful project will follow, the Hotel is still being build, but yeah, I am really curious and excited to see it all come together, and I will share with you the progress here.

Stay tuned. Subscribe to the newsletter. And mail or message me when you have questions.

I hope I find a date when I can invite you to a drink in my Hamburg studio soon to show you these works personally, before they get shipped to Belsers Hotel.

Right now I am in the countryside developing my approach to a totally new series of very different woodcuts for my upcoming solo exhibition at Feinkunst Krüger later this year (November!!).

Again, if you want to stay in touch and get personal updates without an algorithm - my Newsletter is the way to go. 😊

Art in Hotel Suites: Alex Diamond X Belsers Hotel X Geberit

I’ve been a bit off the radar lately, as I’m once again working on two fairly large woodcut pieces. Each of them will measure 100 × 140 cm – yes, that’s quite big for a woodcut, and the panels I’m building for them are correspondingly heavy 😊.

Both works will soon be hanging in Belsers Hotel in Nürtingen, overlooking the Neckar, in two suites that I currently have the pleasure of realizing together with Geberit. In this first piece, I’m dealing with one of my favorite subjects – the stormy sea. Inspired by my large storm works of recent years, I’m currently carving the waves … lots of lines, lots of time, lots of love, as always.

All about: 'THEY ALL MUST BE SLAUGHTERED' Exhibition

Ok. Got four minutes and your speakers on? Above is a walkthrough of my new exhibition, including sound. You really should watch till the end (surprise awaits). This is how my new show „They all must be slaughtered“ is presented at The MISSION by heliumcowboy.

The song „They all must be slaughtered“ by the Melvins runs on constant repeat (from Vinyl), and together with the light setting it creates the unique, dark and apocalyptic athmosphere I wanted for this exhibition, which is more like a play on a stage than just a show of artworks.

Exhibition until March 2, 2024
Open wednesdays - fridays 14 – 18 h

Wohnidee Suite: My drawings for the Bohemian Loft at the Radisson

Here's something different: My drawings on bathroom furniture in a Hotel Suite for a nice project with Geberit, Keramag, Wohnidee Magazine & JOI-Design at the Radisson Blu Hotel, Cologne.

New project: The Water Lounge for Hase+Igel in Düsseldorf

Water & sanitation ist most important: 'inside' my work for 'Hase + Igel', a new restaurant by celebrity chef Stefan Marquard in Düsseldorf.

I have been spending some time this summer working on a great project, and this past week I actually went to Düsseldorf to paint on location: at the construction site of 'Hase + Igel', the new restaurant of celebrity chef Stefan Marquard.

Earlier this year I had been asked by Stefan and Geberit, the european market leader in sanitary technology, to develop and execute an artistic concept for the bathroom facilities of the restaurant. The restrooms are equipped with Aqua Clean shower toilets and beautiful, high-end luxury modules by Geberit (called 'Monolith'), which I included in my design, using silkscreen printing on the glass parts. The entry and hallway in front of the bathrooms underwent a massive paint job I did using aerosol (by Montana cans), markers (by Molotow) and acryllic paint (by Lascaux).

Now the whole environment is called the 'Geberit Water Lounge' - and it is absolutely not your average restroom anymore ...

The restaurant will open Saturday, Oct 18, and if you are the area I hope you can check it out. It is definitely a very different culinary and aesthetic experience. And I mean this only in the best way! Stefan Marquard and his whole crew certainly know the meaning of Punk, and are living the Rock'n Roll life, be it in or out of the kitchen ...
