Text über den Künstler - English
The works of Thomas Stimm are characterised by a concentrated form of representation which operates with the simplicity of a logo. Straightforward and highly intelligible, his formal language is both elementary yet non-superficial, possessed of substance, even stubbornness. Stimm's selections and reductions are succinct, precise and resistant. And consequently they occupy a plausible territory – that of the visual arts.
