Ackermann's monumental paintings take the form of large exploded views that combine architectural elements with numerous Modernist references and abstract shapes in a burst of colours and materials. At a time when reality and perception are driven by endless flows of tourists and information, Ackermann seeks to chronicle new urban realities and the ways in which they are perceived In his multilayered and ebullient paintings.
