Konrad Ross (born 9 January 1970) is a South African born German artist best known for his large scale oil stick drawings on paper. His art is notable for the distortions and imperfections that reveal the creative process. His works frequently incorporate fragments of his own body as motifs.[1][2] He is also known for using his hands, arms, feet and face in the creation of his works.[3]
