Jens Komossa (b. Duisburg/Germany) is an artist working in Berlin, Paris and New York. He has exhibited in Germany, England, France, and Holland, at art fairs including Paris Photo, Art Cologne, and the London Art Fair. He “sets out to discover the night, by presenting its light and deserted rooms,” using a long-exposure technique that allows “hues to achieve an astonishing richness,” and in which “isolated stretches of ceilings or walls become fields of color and texture.” (David Galloway, ARTNews).
Komossa is a graduate of Folkwang, University of the Arts. He has lectured on art and photography at several institutions including the University of Applied Sciences in Mainz and Dortmund.
