Nice To See You Too
2024
Working directly on book surfaces, Johan Deckmann continues his exploration of transformed found objects in this 2024 acrylic work. The artist's characteristic approach of reimagining everyday materials is evident in "Nice To See You Too," where paint application fundamentally alters the book's original function and meaning. Measuring approximately 30 × 22 cm, this original piece exemplifies Deckmann's ongoing investigation into the boundaries between literature and visual art.

Artists in conversation
Lawrence Weiner
American · b. 1942
Weiner's conceptual practice merges typography and minimalist language based works with material transformation, directly paralleling Deckmann's monochrome conceptual assemblages that fuse text and physical form into unified sculptural statements.
Christian Boltanski
French · b. 1944
Boltanski's mixed media installations combine found objects, industrial materials, and conceptual minimalism to evoke themes of decay and the passage of time, qualities that closely mirror Deckmann's sculptural investigations into transformation and material memory.
Joseph Kosuth
American · b. 1945
Kosuth's signature integration of typographic language within conceptual and minimalist frameworks shares Deckmann's monochrome aesthetic and emphasis on text as a sculptural and philosophical element within mixed media unique works.
