Thomas Riesner was born in Leipzig in 1971. He has been self-taught and intensively painting since 1990. In addition to acrylic and ink paintings, drypoint etching is one of his artistic means of expression. It literally gushes out of him spontaneously and abruptly. His expressive, intuitive painting style is reflected in his archaic-looking figures and pictorial elements. His pictures exude an atmosphere of originality and spontaneity, although most of the motifs depict torture, death, murder, rape, illness, end times and ritual cruelty.

The Cloaca Machine

To explain the concept of post-modernism to your friends I recommend you show them the SBS documentary ‘Is This Shit Art?’ about the Belgian artist Wim Delvoye who manufacturers artificial shit and calls it art. He sells the shit for 1500 Euros a piece.

A tongue-in-cheek view of the shit machine can be found here:
