Thomas Kilppner
Artist
Thomas Kilpper is best known for his woodcut prints ranging from political scenes to portraits, of politicians, freedom fighters, spies and student protestors. But his artistic engagement runs much deeper with projects like Al Hissan–The Jenin Horse or Tumult addressing social issues and proposing transformation. Kilpper’s main concern is how to develop pressure and a need for change with art. Throughout his career, he engaged history and the public sphere with artistic interventions that reveal hidden or obscured political and social agendas. Kilpper works with collaborators, local neighbourhoods and people’s stories, using his research to create a picture of history more multilayered than the official versions.
