Hein Spellmann (b. 1962 in Bassum, Germany) is a Berlin-based artist whose practice combines photography and object art. His work focuses on urban spaces and architectural façades, transforming photographic fragments into three-dimensional objects.
Building Skin, Spellmann’s fifth solo exhibition at Gallery Thomassen, explores the architecture of Tokyo, Gothenburg, and The Hague. Single three-dimensional façade objects featuring photographic details of buildings are arranged in varying forms, colours, and lighting to create an urban composition within the gallery space.
Since 1996, Spellmann has exhibited regularly in exhibitions in Germany and internationally. His works are held in numerous private and public collections, including the National Museum Szczecin, Museum Ephraim-Palais, Berlin City Museum, and the National Public Art Council, Sweden.
