Jeremias Altmann works are determined by the serial examination of different topics, his own visual language and 3D style. Born in 1989, Jeremias Altmann studied graphics and printmaking at the University of Applied Arts Vienna. Since graduating in 2015, he is always enthusiastic about the inner workings of technical equipment and their morphologic changes over time, which became the starting point for the series MACHINES. His series EAR COLLECTION and HARD WORK question traditions of classical portraiture and the universal approach to artistic production. In addition to numerous other excursions into short film and installation projects, Altmann is dedicated to showing his work internationally; most recently in the Saatchi Gallery / London, his work has been shown in Austria, France, Germany, Hungary, Serbia, India, Canada and China.

Now he is working and developing his techniques at Lecturer at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna. Back in the days his mentor was Gerhard Drach – a painter, sculptor and songwriter, who as a side project to his artist career started to paint graffiti as one of the very first people in Austria. Until his death in 2011 he became one of his most important friends and still he`s one of the few all-time heroes in his life. His graffiti-tag “iOVE” used to be well spread across Austria and Germany and still lives on today!

We organized a wall at SchnittBogen – Vienna’s first prototype workshop for fashion, textile & design and played with the topic of fashion and their tools. Of course we decided to take a sewing machine for our sujet. The style is leaned on his Mentor Gerhard Drach.
