Collection: Juergen Katzenberger

Jürgen Katzenberger studied fashion and graphic design at the Deutsche Meisterschule für Mode in Munich. Since then, he has lived and worked as a freelance graphic designer and artist in Munich. His shop-studio, which also functions as an exhibition space, forms the starting point for an artistic practice that combines design, perception, and spatial thinking.

At the core of his work is an exploration of geometric forms, dot grids, and optical structures. Katzenberger develops a precise visual language in which order and movement, clarity and dissolution meet. Three-dimensionally appearing grids, overlays, and perspectival shifts create pictorial spaces that do not immediately reveal themselves to the viewer but continuously change during viewing. The works unfold their own dynamic, in which surface and space interact.

Color plays a central role in this. Contrasts, transparencies, and layering create different visual planes and enhance the spatial effect of the compositions. Depending on the viewing angle and lighting conditions, new structures emerge, while others recede into the background. Katzenberger's works see themselves as open fields of perception, inviting the viewer to question viewing habits and to re-explore the boundaries between construction, illusion, and experience.
