„Dream In Full Circle“ — Acrylic & Oil Stick on round Canvas, 80x80cm, 2023 Part of the „At The Mirror I Wave Waiting For Any Reaction“ exhibition. During May 2023 by appointment only: [email protected] / SUPERBLAST At The Mirror I Wave Waiting For Any Reaction OPENING: April 27, 2023 6-9 pm EXHIBITION: April 28-30, 2023 12-6 pm LOCATION: Torstrasse 140 10115 Berlin / FUTURE/MEMORY is pleased to present AT THE MIRROR I WAVE — WAITING FOR ANY REACTION, an exhibition by SuperBlast. “I saw all the mirrors on earth and none of them reflected me…” – Jorge Luis Borges With the exhibition AT THE MIRROR I WAVE — WAITING FOR ANY REACTION, we celebrate the individual decisions in context to the social conciousness, in times of anxiety. A study of self-reflection in times of isolation and high pitch media frenzy. The newest series of acrylic with oilstick paintings were created during these uncertain pandemic times, from 2020 until today. The artworks reflect the anxiety of this global emotional rollercoaster. As instability in society has always been a driving force for personal introspection and nurtured artistic ways to cope with the current situation. SuperBlast describes the paintings as: “It´s a study of selfportraits, through a broken mirror, with the eyes closed”. Selected works from the artist most recent series are shown for the first time, in the heart of the Berlin-Mitte district.

Happy to be student again. Learning how to draw on skin. Being fully present and to bring the very best you can to the table. Focused on this moment. And to be trusted with the task and the vision is humbling beyond believe for me. Thankful @lukasfeireiss for your trust & @garibaldi_tt for your guidance! / The eye in the cloud does not watch over us. It watches for us — patient, unblinking, waiting to see if we will notice that every symbol is also a trap, and every trap, a door. Make of it what you will. That, too, is part of the design. #superblast #superblastforever #tattooartwork

Straße oder Galerie – muss das eine Entscheidung sein? SuperBlast @superblast ist Künstler in Berlin. Seine Bilder hängen in Museen, auf Basketballplätzen, auf Häuserwänden in Johannesburg und São Paulo. Manuel Osterholt beobachtet die Welt – und macht dann etwas draus, das bleibt. Wir haben ihn besucht. Und einfach gefragt. Über Ursprung, Handwerk, Schönheit – und was ein gutes Olivenöl mit einem guten Bild gemeinsam hat. Mehr von Manuel: @superblast → Was ihn antreibt, hörst du am Ende. #sachma #oelberlin #berlin

The books are open! Hit the DM. My drawings seam to resonate with the tattoo enthusiasts. And after years of people getting them inked on them by other tattoo artist, I decided to try it myself. Becoming a student again. With great teacher. If you always wanted one of my drawings done, now is the time to get it directly from the source. Let‘s make it happen. Working on my Flash Book as we speak. The first to get one from the sheet is maestro @garibaldi_tt Gracie mille for your trust and guidance. Who is next? #superblast #superblastforever #flashsheet

BACKJUMPS 1994–2000 Book Box 31x31,5x9cm, 840 pages, 7 kg, 2026 Creative Direction & Design I am very happy to finally hold the BACKJUMPS 1994–2000 book box in my hands. After years talking about it, finally starting the process and doing all the work necessary for a huge project like this, until today was a journey. A very personal one. Since I got introduced to Backjumps in the early/mid 90s in Heidelberg as a young writer, it had a huge impact on me, my development and understanding of style writing. Through this journey I met Adrian, Jay1, Poet62 and a lot of people involved in Backjumps and its culture, who remain friends till today. When Ruediger Glatz, crew member and whom I know since my childhood, ask me to do the concept and design for this project, I had the feeling of a full circle moment. This was a dream project for me, with a dream team. Thank you Adrian & Ruedi for making this happen and for your trust!

The Bowl Of Wisdom / SuperBowl — Ceramic Handpainted by SuperBlast (on burned clay & glased) Made with @proshakolosov at @ceramic.kingdom Berlin 14x14x7cm (ceramic bowl) 26x26x10cm (screenprinted wooden box, numbered) Certificate of Authenticity (signed) Edition of 7 (unique) 2025 SHOP: or link in bio (Shop) SHIPPING: DHL (with Tracking) — If you can‘t find your destination on the list, don‘t hesitate to contact us, to add your country! No shipping to the USA at the moment, due to the unclear tax price policy. Photos by @teryoshi Screenprint: @nerlich_siebdruck / The Bowl Of Wisdom — SuperBlast, 2025 One is tempted, before even holding it in one’s hand, to assign to this object a genealogy that stretches back to the most perilous of legends. The Bowl of Wisdom by SuperBlast is a ceramic vessel, modest in size, yet it carries the gravity of an artifact that alludes to the Grail itself—the chalice into which centuries of Western imagination have poured their longing for transcendence. Yet here, instead of solemn austerity, we encounter a playful, almost ironic iconography: two handful of eyes, unblinking, stare from its petrol-green-blue skin, their whites rendered in mint tones as though purified by some vegetal alchemy. Inside, the color ignites—fiery orange, like a hearth perpetually burning, or like the illumination of knowledge itself, searing but also fragile, for wisdom is always accompanied by the danger of excess. Thus the bowl becomes a paradoxical relic: an everyday ceramic object that declares itself an eternal mystery. SuperBlast, by placing eyes upon its exterior, suggests not only omniscience but also the voyeuristic hunger of our time—wisdom sought not in silence but in perpetual surveillance. One may say that this Bowl of Wisdom is not the Grail of the knights, nor the chalice of Christ, but rather a simulacrum in the Baudrillardian sense: a sacred object for a world that believes more in signs than in sacraments. And yet, in its glow, we sense that yearning which has never left us: that wisdom might still be drunk, even from clay. #superblast #futurememory #proshakolosov #ceramickingdom #ceramics
