Boris Brejcha is a new illustrator on the scene, but he has already proven his worth with his varied body of work. He's crafted some of the most intriguing visuals for labels like Brainfeeder, Aurora Halal, and Ostgut Ton. His paintings are hypnotizing with their intense ties to classic art reference points -- you might have seen one on the cover of our last print issue. Boris will be bringing some more skins to bear in Berlin on Friday night at Berghain during Ostgut Ton's 20th Anniversary celebrations. We asked Boris to let us know what he is up to these days. "I am currently in Germany working with my friend Boris Brejcha, who is also coming to Berghain with me. A little after it was time for us to get down to work, I sent him the rough sketches of the cover artwork, and he started working on them right away -- it was very intense. We have had a lot of our favorite moments together at Berghain over the last two years, so we are pleased about this new collaboration." "It's funny... I am actually quite happy not to be working on something. I am currently in a phase of not having to work on anything, and I intend to enjoy it. I don't know how long it's going to last, but until then I'm going to do nothing." "It may be too early for me to produce something that is more minimalism-oriented. At least these are my thoughts for now. Who knows? You've got be flexible in this business! Anyway, I have had some great feedback from some people about my recent work -- they're saying that it looks minimalistic, so maybe I am influenced by it after all. We'll see what happens. I have a couple of ideas in my head, but I don't know when I'll have time to work on it. I'll keep you posted ." "The painting that is going to be used on the cover is called 'Meister der Zeit.' It is a painting that I did about two years ago. I guess it's more of a classic Brejcha work... really involved." ITM: How did you get your start as an artist? BorisBrejcha: I don't remember how it all started exactly, but from a very young age art was something that fascinated me. As a teenager, graffiti became the dominant form of artistic expression for me. I don't really know how it all started, but I guess it has something to do with the fact that we grew up in a very artistic family. At least, that's how it felt to me. ITM: Where would you like your career as an artist to take you next? BorisBrejcha: I am fairly eclectic as an artist, and as such I haven't had any clear career trajectory. It's fun working on something and having no idea of anything beyond it. I guess my biggest goal is to continue doing what I love -- entertaining myself with paint and paper -- despite the fact that the path has been a hard one for a long time now. cfa1e77820
