Osterholt

SuperBlast (Manuel Osterholt) is a multidisciplinary artist based in Berlin, working at the intersection of visual culture, mythology, and the human condition. With roots in street culture and a practice spanning fine art, publishing, and visual communication, SuperBlast develops bold, immersive works that move fluidly between art spaces and public contexts.

Through images and objects, the work examines how personal and collective histories shape the present. SuperBlast creates visual narratives that balance conceptual depth with clarity, merging artistic research with a strong graphic sensibility.

His large-scale murals appear in cities such as Berlin, Chongqing, Moscow, Buenos Aires, Johannesburg, São Paulo, San Francisco, and New York City.

From 1999 to 2001, training as a Graphic Designer at the Carl-Hofer-Schule in Karlsruhe.

In 2004, he completed a one-month crash course in Typo Design with Lucas de Groot, deepening his typographic foundation.

A self-taught painter, SuperBlast decided from a young age to explore his artistic vision. Discovering the world of graffiti writing in 1989 opened up a whole new universe, which became channelled into a distinct personal style tinted by hip-hop, hardcore punk and skateboard culture.
