Art - Noah Becker: Berlin grandma is a great inspiration
For tennis legend's son and artist Noah Becker, his Berlin grandmother is an important mentor. "She is a great inspiration for me," said the 30-year-old, whose images are currently on display at the Berlin Gallery Deschler, to the "Tagesspiegel" in an interview. "She is also a painter, a real art enthusiast. Every time there is an exciting exhibition, she drags me there."
Since he was 20, they have attended three or four major exhibitions together every year. His grandmother attends all his exhibitions. "She is not only my grandmother but also for many of my friends. She is very important in my life," explained Becker. "She loves to teach. She teaches not only my friends but also refugees German."
"Painted, to find friends"
He began painting as a child, said the son of Boris and Barbara Becker. At that time, he had not yet thought about galleries. "Rather, I painted to find friends." As a teenager, it was also "a kind of identity finding" for him, just like sports and music. "Music has given me, I believe, always self-confidence. Music is 90% energy. Painting is rather an introspective look." Becker is also active as a musician.
Currently, he prefers to stay in his studio in Los Angeles, where part of his family and his girlfriend live, said Becker. "It's very small, but very special. It offers a lot of peace and a lot of beautiful, wonderful light." He has also painted a lot in Berlin. "It's good when you change perspectives. Interesting to see what then happens with the work."
