Strumbel, however, creates both, a unique artificial and artistic aesthetic with his usage of extreme exaggerations in regard to form content. With their colorful and bright surface, the artworks appear as light and shiny pieces of pop art. At first sight, these objects don’t reveal any of the disturbing content but appear as beautifully crafted wooden sculptures. By doing so, he puts the objects into a completely new and often provocative context, always pushing boundaries. He replaces significant elements of the cuckoo’s clock, such as traditionally carved ornaments with motives that deal with the subjects of violence, pornography and death.

Nevertheless, Stefan Strumbel is not as well known, as he should be. The result is never before seen art objects that found their way to the homes of several leading German collectors. Stefan Strumbel’s work is therefore in constant dispute with the paradigm of his rural upbringing and a very modern perception of contemporary urban art. By replacing traditional ornaments with motives depicting pornography, aggression and death he creates pop-art-like pieces that stand for the change in our value system. Furthermore the artist utilizes religious objects like the crucifix and adds stylistic elements from the urban and street –art world. Strumbel abstracts this classical wall clock and mixes it with bright colors, contemporary objects and urban art ideas. The “Kuckucksuhr” he most frequently uses originates from this region. The objects he chooses to re-design are traditional objects from the Black Forest region in Germany. The deep relationship to his birthplace is also expressed in his art. Stefan Strumbel, the Offenburg born and raised contemporary artist still works from his hometown.
