Jonah Gebka's works reimagine processes of their own creation. The depicted protagonists hold sheets of paper in their hands, studying, organising and discussing them. Printers and copiers become part of the image as watercolour renderings of the actual machines as well as traces left on the paper by those same devices. Larger hands expand the picture plane and refer to a work progressing in the background. Jonah Gebka completed his painting studies with professor Karin Kneffel in 2018 at the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich. He attended the Helsinki Academy of Fine Arts, Finland in 2014 with an Erasmus-scholarship. He is a former scholarship holder of the Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes and will present his first solo exhibition at the Galerie der Künstler, Munich in September 2020.
