Mat Geisler comes from a strict religious German family. His father is a pastor and his mother a nurse. Having moved frequently as a child, he is fascinated with Heimat (home), Raum (space) and digital culture. Growing up in the 2000s, he is influenced by a Religious upbringing, science fiction, 90s computer games and life in a tiny village. Often observing the world as a quiet child, his visual worlds move between the metaphysical and the trivial. Gestural forms quote characters & pictorial symbols from pop culture, religion and the internet as well nature, creating a snapshot of life in the 21st century. He merges recurring motifs, between organic structures, whimsical gestures, stars and morphing comic figures into intricate image-plates. Graduated from the HGB Leipzig he lives and works in the city of LE (DE).
