Artists are different! So or similar is the common talk manner. From this brightens the prejudice of the usually mortal towards them, who create uniques and therefore often are looked upon as having their heads in the clouds. Necessary border transgressions or life rituals are considered to the artist as human being, and crossing of taboos seen as eccentric, exaggerated feeling of life. But the art's need for innovation projects such prejudices into the process of creation, a shriller becoming world of media constantly stimulates the concurrence between artists, to give themselves an other himself. The eye has become accustomed to see in another way, the "normal" will hardly find mercy of quota fanatical TV pictures. It often is too heavy for the artist to manage with the opinions and tools of "normal" people. Does he behave like people like him, like the neighbor of next door, so is said at once, he is a quite normal man. Like you and me. This sounds a little strange, but a little unusual is behind this still; this saying shows, that nothing normal had been suspected. But after all: With this knowledge the artist gets engaged as human being and accepted in the worming and protecting cover of neighborhood life. Now he seems to be tamed and quite useable for the daily need. Between this knowledge extreme today's artist is settled. He has to make mucky the icons of bourgois life and leave innovative wholes in opinion structures, which durability have survived the centuries.

In the various contexts of such social and artistical environment Ekkehard Stoevesand lives, too. And here he produces his art. In Berlin. Where the extremes touch particularly hard, but where humanly emotions also have tender soft spots. Agreements between creators and recipients can be produced here apparently faster as elsewhere. The painter Ekkehard Stoevesand is grown up under this premises in Berlin. With his temperament flagging apparently never he has combined himself and his life ideas with the risk of a "freelance" and banished in time jovial official safety from his studio. For him work is the point ! Unlike the "thinkers" under the artists Stoevesand sees the "sensory" more. His gestures, his voice, the powerful language are found in his work again. Eloquence and energy are for him two sides of a medallion. Also there is not any teetotalism for him in the social ambience of the town loved by him. He was a critical participant, then joyable sunsides shone on the west Berlin island and he participates today in the promotion of changes which have to be practiced daily new in the town, growing together.
