ARTISTS OF THE YEAR KARTONIERT (TB)

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.
