Group exhibition“Man and Wolf” at the JRGALLERY and Raab Galerie Berlin
Wölfi – the one who brings the flowers, 2024, ink
“Torsten Schlüter’s wolf is called Wölfi – he captures the wolf in his movement so beautifully that we like to give him a pet name.” (Ingrid Raab, gallery owner)
Even the announcement of the themed exhibition Man and Wolf inspired many artists to spontaneously participate with a work. After all, everyone thinks about the subject. The wolf is already mentioned in five thousand year old Sumerian cuneiform writings, probably to teach young people mathematics and logic in an entertaining way. We know of fables, novels, comics, films and even an opera on the subject. It is as old as the special relationship between humans and dogs.
This time from the Indian state of Karnataka. With monkey theater at the Melukote temple and a village for the artist’s eye. Torsten coins a new word: alleyway silence.
The working stay comes to an end. In addition to inspiration and a full sketchbook, the results also include three new podcast episodes. The first one is “a little different” this time. Good headphones are recommended. It goes back to the 90s, when Goa was the center of psytrance. The illustrator is also the dancer.
