Thomas Falkner has been artistically active since the early 2000s; initially with photomontages. Since the mid-2010s, he has been developing his own unique style: highly reduced and processed photographs in which structures, contexts and perspectives become clearer.

The highlight in 2019/20 was the double exhibition “Der zweite Blick. Berlin – the City” with his patron and role model, the Berlin painter Horst Dietzel at the “Helle Panke” gallery in Prenzlauer Berg. Some of the paintings presented there, as well as more recent works, have since been shown in Athens, London, Venice, Amsterdam, Zug, Salzburg, Barcelona, Palma de Mallorca and Miami. Further exhibitions are in preparation.

Falkner is artistically self-taught. He was born in 1957 in (East) Berlin. After studying and earning his doctorate in Leipzig, he first worked as a political journalist in Berlin and Bonn, and later as a political consultant and publicist. He has been retired since 2021. Falkner is the author of several books.
