"Mathias Waske works with the clichés of validity and the approved, making caricatures of the art establishment and its extremes. His is a contemporary imagery, which is place in a position outside the tradition of the "Classic Modern Art", which has degenerated to a historicism of the 20th century. Waskes pictures are as brilliant as apt."
(Hans Ottomeyer, preface of the exhibition catalogue Museum Villa Stuck-Munich)
