About me
I wish you lots of pleasure with my art
ABOUT ME
Welcome to a world of colours, material and light
Today I can look back on more than 50 years of activity as an artist.
My works emerge from an ongoing process of creative experimentation with colour, light, structure and a wide range of materials. They are diverse and not bound to any fixed medium. The individual pieces are less a final goal than visible traces of an open creative journey.
Looking back over the many years of my work, several projects have emerged that continue to challenge me through themes that are important to me, interesting materials and/or engaging techniques. These include photo collages, psychoportraits, stylised nude paintings, double-sided room dividers and textile works. A selection of these works, and more, can be seen on this website.
The project irrelichter, an absurd and at the same time colourful caricature of traditional german domestic lighting methods, can be seen on www.irrelichter.eu.
