Johann Alexis
German, b. 1974
Johann Alexis von Haehling deals with the triad of human existence: consciousness, body, and soul. He is convinced that we humans must first deal with our hearts before we can make a constructive contribution to universal and important changes in society. In the context of an increasingly threatened Earth, the artist is interested in essential questions: Where do we come from, where are we now, and where is our potential to get back into better harmony with the global geosystem and biosystem? As the founder of the Arts & Nature Social Club—a community of leading scientists, artists, and entrepreneurs—Johann Alexis is committed to these core issues of our time in the style of social sculpture after Joseph Beuys. Systemically and conceptually, this happens in the form of intellectual and inspirational gatherings in different places of the world. The maximally reduced surfaces and colors of abstract paintings by Johann Alexis create strong, meditative interpretation spaces for these complex discussions. He examines the potential on how fluidity and simplicity can impact our lives and endeavors as human beings in order to create a global livelihood in harmony, respect, and truth.
