Born in Dresden in 1984, Paul Waak studied visual communication with a focus on illustration at Universität der Künste in Berlin and painting at Hunter College in New York City. With his drawings, paintings, and sculptures he participated in several national, as well as international, exhibitions; his latest solo show took place in 2023 at Art House Rising in Berlin. Waak’s colourful, figurative works deal with topics such as human relationships and the increasing digitalization of life, violence and innocence, beauty and crime, work and leisure. Thus, they showcase the objects, gestures, desires, and fears of our time. He always strives to make them work in a variety of shapes and contexts, be it as textiles, furniture, or theatre costumes. Paul Waak lives and works in Berlin.
