artist Germany

Jacques Tilly is a renowned satirical artist from Düsseldorf, known for his provocative and often controversial floats that lampoon political figures and societal issues. Since 1984, he has created striking paper-mâché caricatures, including notable representations of leaders like Helmut Kohl and Gerhard Schröder, often emphasizing themes of freedom and tolerance. His work reflects a commitment to satire as a form of political commentary, particularly in response to rising authoritarianism and right-wing populism in contemporary Germany. Tilly's floats are a staple of the Düsseldorf Carnival, where he aims to foster unity and inclusivity through humor.
