Born in 1980, Böse grew up in Berlin and began sketching his first stories at an early age. After a brief detour into Indology, he studied history and art history in Berlin and Geneva. As head of marketing and exhibition curator, he became active in Berlin's art scene right after graduating in 2006, starting at one of the city's largest exhibition houses. While overseeing many projects with illustrious personalities and partners during the day, including those from Australia, Zimbabwe, Israel and North Korea, at night he immersed himself in the world of boozy artists in Berlin crash bars. Böse publishes a variety of books, but continues to work full-time in Berlin's international and exceedingly surreal art scene. He has an intimate love-hate relationship with his run-down hometown and makes it the setting for many of his books.
