Willehad Eilers / Wayne Horse

"Tanz auf der Klinge" (Dance on a Knife’s Edge) is the first monograph by the artist Willehad Eilers aka Wayne Horse (b. 1981). This publication features works created between 2018 and 2023, presenting the many facets that make up the artist’s universe—from blind drawing to graffiti and monumental oil paintings. Eiler’s visual world, made up of grotesquely lewd scenes, reveals a generous portion of humor while exploring the darkest depths of society. Studio images and photographs from Eiler’s everyday life provide an insight into his creative process. This visual journey is accompanied by interviews with the artist, brief explanatory texts and the notes that in many cases served as the starting points for the works depicted here.
