Alex Diamond is the name of an art project that was initiated in 2004 by the Hamburg artist Jörg Heikhaus (born 29 November 1967 in Cologne). Jörg Heikhaus is also the founder of the gallery 'heliumcowboy' (since 2002) in Hamburg, whose operation was temporarily suspended in 2013 to devote himself better to his own work as an artist.[1] Until 2012, the project was promoted without a direct link to the artist himself, which made it unknown who was behind the pseudonym.[2] The purpose of this secrecy was to perform various self-presentations and explore the extent to which an artist without an explicit identity can establish itself.[3] At the beginning of 2010, the artist dropped his anonymity and uses Alex Diamond as a pseudonym.[4] Following the end of the project with an exhibition at Kunstverein Buchholz in 2012, Heikhaus continued to use the Alex Diamond artist name.


Work


Alex Diamond's work focuses mainly on working with wood. Characteristic of his works are dynamic figures and a strict and reduced coloring. Both are often found in the woodcuts, wall sculptures, installations, as well as the furniture and wood prints of the artist.[5] Typical for his stage sets are layered, meticulously crafted and detailed sculptural woodcuts mixed with various painting and dyeing techniques. At the center of his artistic activity is the woodcut, which he does not understand as a mere printing instrument, but already as a work in itself.[6] The artist sees himself mainly as a 'story teller'. The main part of his work is devoted to the analysis and interpretation of contemporary culture and its recurrent patterns of recognition, with an artistic focus on the study of the social and cultural aspects of human coexistence.

Alex Diamond ist der Name eines Kunstprojektes, das 2004 vom Hamburger Künstler Jörg Heikhaus initiiert worden ist. Jörg Heikhaus ist ebenfalls der Gründer der Galerie heliumcowboy (2002–heute) in Hamburg.[1] Bis 2010 wurde dieses Projekt ohne eine direkte Verbindung zum Künstler selbst vorangetrieben, wodurch nicht bekannt war, wer sich hinter dem Pseudonym verbirgt.[2] Ziel dieser Geheimhaltung war es, verschiedene Selbstinszenierungen vorzunehmen und der Frage nachzugehen, inwieweit sich ein Künstler ohne explizite Identität etablieren kann.[3] Anfang 2010 hat der Künstler die Anonymität jedoch abgelegt und nutzt Alex Diamond als Pseudonym.[4] Seit 2017 betreibt Jörg Heikhaus auch den Kunst-Podcast "heliumTALK"[5] (deutsch & englisch).
