Jörg Rode
puts a ironic spin on things. His latest series of
caricature-like sculptures are loaded with social and
political subtexts.The almost obcenely politcally incorrect
sculptures from the “Young Art from Africa”
series play with the typical political correctness
attitudes of western elites who embrace ethno-design and
Third World romantics.
Jörg Rode, born
1957, studied Fine Art at the Hochschule der Künste in
Hamburg with artists/professors Franz Erhard Walter and
Thomas Bayrle in Frankfurt
