Ole Meergans
artist
Born 1988. Visual artist, Berlin. Studied sculpture at Berlin University of the Arts, including under Manfred Pernice. In joint exhibitions and projects in public areas, he deals with classical sculpture, room installations and the architectonic space. Ole is interested in buildings, especially former GDR architecture, and issues of figuration and abstraction. His works feature geometric, preformed concrete blocks similar to those found in Berlin’s prefabricated housing estates, along with figurative or deformed busts in gypsum or bronze, or sometimes 3D-printed. He is a member of the COLLCOLL artists’ collective, which aims to facilitate discourse on reclaiming the city, participation and self-empowerment through artistic intervention.
