Five years ago the then 20 year old Matthias Wyss with "Jungle, Book One" presented a brilliant debut, which we immediately cast a spell. And not just us: the work was with the Bieler Anderfuhren Scholarship, the Federal Award for Art and the jaw Hablitzel excellent price. We are proud to bring you to the award-winning book is now allowed to offer in its second edition of 100 numbered and signed copies.
Jungle, First Book is a summary of five sketchbooks which has filled Matt Wyss in a kind of creative fury between August 2004 and March 2005, pencil drawings, scenic notes and comments. Although the title of a subcutaneous relationship to Rudyard Kipling (from Disney unfortunately tender purged) "Jungle Book" claims to develop the 250 drawings, sketches and sequences in Weiss' book is not congenial chronological history, and certainly not a false morality. While it is also hunted, bitten and torn like mad, but merge the struggling animals and mythical creatures in graphite dust to dramatic entities of light and shadow -. Here so there will be no battle between good and evil, everything we see what we ( co-) experience is.. the struggle of darkness with the brightness of the "law of the jungle" second order while the graphite of the pencil colonized the luminous plane of the paper, slitting the paper on the leaden blackness like claws in the leaves " Jungle, First Book is like "so more of the journey of Joseph Conrad's river boat captain Marlow in the "heart of darkness" who wondered, given the eerie green wall of the jungle, "whether the calm was upon the face of infinity, which we looked at, as a request intended or as a threat. Who were we, who here entered were? Could we handle the unwieldy thing, or would it handle us? "I felt suddenly as big as the big scary thing was, the talk could not and perhaps nor hear. What was in there?" A possible answer can be found in "Jungle, First Book" by Matthew Weiss.
