Thomas Wirth alias Super*me
Super*me is the artist name and at the same time the irony of not taking oneself too seriously. Born in Germany in 1971, Super*me worked for many years as a creative director for well-known fashion brands around the world and developed his passion for art from this. In his art, Super*me combines his childhood memories shaped by ATARI games with streetwear influences from California.
Accordingly, the combination of street art and gaming is characteristic of his artwork. His artwork is applied to very different materials and is intended to encourage people to question themselves. Banksy and influences from the gaming and streetwear scene serve as his artistic inspiration. Super*me is not just aimed at art connoisseurs. Everyone can identify with his artwork and question themselves and society. Art should be fun and thought-provoking, but his sometimes very provocative art, with its honesty and authenticity, always makes the viewer smile.
Super*me does not use a specific technique, but relies on mixed media, combining a variety of materials and techniques. He prefers to paint with acrylic on canvas and incorporates 3D effects into his often large-format works. "Overthinking is the biggest waste of human energy. Trust yourself, make a decision and gain more experience for your life. There is no such thing as perfection. You can't think yourself into perfection, just do it the way you believe in it."
