GOEBEL ATELIER

​The work of the Cologne artist SAXA, alias Dr. Sascha Lehmann, is word painting. He works mostly with one tool - his words. He creates his pictures letter by letter. He writes his poems and thoughts on the canvas, or visualizes famous icons through their stories, biographies, original sounds and song lyrics.
