Puttbill - Felix Pestemer - Drawings Objects Illustration Picture Books Comics and Graphic Novels

Bio

Felix Pestemer (*1974) studied Fine Arts in Berlin and Illustration in Barcelona. In 2003 he founded 'Puttbill' with Maria Guitart Ferrer as a label for their picture book parables; today Puttbill also represents narrative drawings and paintings.

A DAAD-scholarship gave Pestemer the possibility to go to Mexico for fieldwork and the realization of the half fictional, half documentary comic book 'Polvo' on the Mexican tradition of the 'Day of the Dead' (2005-´09).

The focus of the artistic work is dedicated to the themes of perishing and valuation('Neophytenplasma - Idols of Waste & Tedium Relics', Berlin 2007) and the deterritorialization of iconic and symbolic meaning ('Welcome the Stranger', Berlin 2008).

Pestemer works and lives in Berlin.
