Berlin, Germany – The new Ida Illuster Gallery in Berlin will open on September 29th with a special exhibition of original drawings by Felix Mertikat. In its inaugural exhibition the gallery will host a selection of original drawings by Felix Mertikat from the book ‘Jakob’, under the title “Rabenkind: Drawings by Felix Mertikat” from September 30th until November 25th. The comic book ‘Jakob’ is about a boy whose mother ‘goes away forever’, who then starts looking for her. Felix Mertikat’s drawings are a combination of pencil and watercolour that create very intense scenes through their colourful surrealism and stylistic diversity. ‘Jakob’ is a very personal book about the little child who remains in us when we become adults.
