![Jens Heller - Untitled (Man with Catheter) [2009]](http://c5.staticflickr.com/9/8272/29502731796_9db2258382_b.jpg)
Jens Heller is a German artist who creates paintings that deal with big issues, including life and death, with a sense of humour or absurdity. In his distinctive and whimsical works on canvas, the artist uses a sharp contrast in light and shadow to isolate his subjects and heighten their emotional tension. Using highly rendered visual texture, sheen and reflective surfaces, he creates visually rich paintings, that seem to be imaginary and visionary.
