OFF THE BEATEN TRACKS - photography exhibition in Berlin
2011-11-24 10:47
»4 Künstler zeigen eine Welt abseits der allgegenwärtigen Hochglanzfotografie.« : Sven Marquardt, Peter Franck, Matthias Gephart und Sebastian Klug.
In the words of the curator: Matthias Gepharts Bilder reflektieren einen speziellen Blick, den er sich in der Graffiti-Szene angeeignet hat, und zeigen persönliche Eindrücke aus Parallelwelten: Inspirierende (Un-)Orte, an denen er arbeitet und die er durch malerische Eingriffe verändert, inspirierende Freunde und zufällige Begegnungen. Die dichte Atmosphäre der Fotografien lassen sich direkt auf den grafischen Stil in Matthias Gepharts Illustrationen zurückführen.
Be invited to NEONCHOCOLATE Gallery Berlin! The screenshot was made from the page of art forum Neo Collective, who used one of my works for their opener.

BLACK MINDED IN BERLIN - LOGO.
2011-06-22 10:00
In Berlins nightlife with all its hot-spots and cold edges, lack of options should not be a topic, but subcultures always have very specific divisions and sub-divisions that include or exclude the experts: there is always someone who does not yet feel satisfied. For progressive-, old- and new wavers and their environmental followers, Berlin has Death Disco or Modern Movement, just to name two important events - and now a group of enthusiasts comes up with something new, simply entitled BLACK. I designed the logo and the first flyer: you find it in the Music Illustration section.

WELCOME AGAIN!
2011-02-27 20:00
In the eighth year after starting DISTURBANITY Graphics and running Disturbanity.com, i´m glad to announce, that now and here you finally find the latest, once again improved & brand new Disturbanity page: the illustration portfolio of Matthias Gephart.
Some things have changed: I decided to split my fine art portfolio from my showcase of comissional works. There has been a real jungle of artworks growing on the last Disturbanity website - and for people who have not been familiar with my work for years, i felt I need to set this straight : Since I live in Berlin for some years now, I am much more involved in doing art shows - but on the other hand i am still working on comissional illustration and graphic design jobs, just like I allways did. In other words: If you want to get in touch with me for working on your project, here is the right place to do so.
For my free photographic work, paintings, collage and murals, a new website will be established this spring as well, you will then find it on matthiasgephart.com then. For purchasing artwork now, silkscreen prints, digital prints, photographs or originals, you are invited to get in touch with me via mail or facebook, or contact Gallery Box32 (Poisoned Potcards prints) or West Berlin Gallery (Magic Moments photo edition).
