Sculptor, painter, and illustrator Lorena Baston (*1994, Mexico) is an artist of many styles, from an army of haunted-feeling clay figurines to simple, small paintings pairing cartoonish talking animals. In Teufelsee, Baston pays homage to a famous moment at the painting’s namesake over the summer, when a boar ran off with a nude swimmer’s bag. In Baston’s words, “For me, that scene represents Berlin to perfection.”
