Career
Akulin rose to prominence by creating pencil drawings of large format that reinstate this genre"s autonomous value. Georg Baselitz says of the artist "Danja Akulin creates conceptual drawings, which he calls "aesthetically minimalist". Since they come from Saint St. Petersburg, they look different from equally conceptual art by Californian artist Editor Ruscha, for example.
After looking at his pictures, it is particularly exciting to see with your own eyes how many watts are used to light a stairwell in Saint St. Petersburg.
This is what good drawings look like".
