Short Bio
Keanu Sapadi studied from 2016 to 2023 at Weissensee Kunsthochschule Berlin. In 2022 he finished his diploma in the field of painting. In the following year until 2023 he studied and finished as Meisterschüler under Friederike Feldmann and developed an intersection between drawing and concept. His focus is on emotional intelligence, internal perception and artistic concentration translate into process-oriented drawings.
On the side he develops Kunstszene Report for two years. A project engaging with Berlin's broad creative scene, documenting artwork and archiving flyers of exhibitions. The project is inspired by the idea of "social plastic".
