| Daniel Knorr | Led R. Nanirok
Daniel Knorr was born in 1968 in Bucharest and he currently lives in Berlin. The artist’s works often assume deceptively simple shapes that are characterized by economies of modest means or, on the contrary, they materialize exuberantly as eye-catching large-scale interventions that interfere with the uniform expression and clearly defined functions of public urban spaces. Some... |
