Founder of Transformal Art - since 1994

The Idea of Nothing as Everything, of Finding by Not-searching, has more and more left its mark in Jodd’s artistic expression. He has reached his unmitigated artistic freedom through obeying, subordinating and allowing.
Everything happens as it should.
Jodd’s Transformal Art, he invented in 1994, brings back art to the naked soil, to the primeval horizon of origin, to the meaning of transformation and development.
His extensive portfolio is represented worldwide by KLASAN GALLERY | Vienna & London and his works are shown at HMH Gallery | Mallorca, Spain and at SINGULART online gallery.
At more than 100 exhibitions in Berlin, Vienna, Paris, New York, Toulouse, Miami, Aachen, St.Tropez, Bonn, Köln etc. his paintings received enthusiastic appreciation and found its way into many collections.
Jodd von Schaffstein lives in Berlin and works in his studios ArtRaum and Gartenatelier both at Prenzlauer Berg.

New Art Project:
Works created to the music of Florian Christl

In the past, Jodd has already created 2 series of drawings after the music of famous composers:

NIMROD – created while listening to the music piece ‘Nimrod’ by Edward Elgar > > >

TIME – created while listening to the music piece ‘Time’ by Hans Zimmer > > >

A while ago, Jodd discovered the music of young german composer Florian Christl (www.florianchristl.de) and was overwhelmed by it. Listened to it again and again.
After a period of a acquaintance to Christl’s music, Jodd was ready to create the first work while listening to the new album of Florian Christl About Time – Ouverture.

Themed Series

Peu

During the creation process of his Series DIX, Jodd experimented with adapting the same reduced style on canvas. In adding some features of his Transformal Art he created small masterpieces uniquely combining minimalism with opulence.

Dix

In March 2021, Jodd started creating a series of intuitive paintings on cardboard/canvas with china ink and shellac remembering the genius of Jean Degottex (1918-1988) by reducing his typically opulent style to the absolute minimum – pure Jodd.

Revelations
