Premio Combat Prize

MagnumCurrently I am working with a veiling painting technique exclusively using “The Colour White” as veiling means. In this painting the “White” application is done with dripping by a spray bottle and with white needle structures by vertical placement of an 8 cm wide flat brush.I call such images Technology- Landscapes. By connecting and combining of elements and aspects of various engineering branches (hydraulic, thermal technique, electrical technique) I develop technical fantasy landscapes.In this case a single technical element serves as basic motive for veiling.A structure remembering on an electrical motor – you can recognize a rotating system inside with electrical windings and the indication of cooling ribs outside – is just as much hidden behind the “White”that one can still imagine it as it is in reality.Curriculum Vitae1940 born in Nueremberg / Germany1959 Graduated High School1960 – 1965 Study at Technical University Munich1967 Begin of Painting Activities1971 – 1973 Artistic Education by Altschäffel in Schweinfurtsince 1974 Art Information Trips to France, Spain, Italy, USA, Israel, China, India 2002 Design of the Citizen Medal for the Municipality of the Town of Bad Neustadt since 2006 member of the European artist group “Colectivo Cillero” since 1966 living in Bad Neustadt / Saale , GermanyPersonal ExhibitionsAugsburg , Bad Neustadt , Bamberg , Berlin , Erlangen , Essen , Karlsruhe , Luxembourg , Munich , Nueremberg , Regensburg , Stuttgart , WuerzburgMembership-- „Kunstverein“ Bad Neustadt-- European artist group „Colectivo Cillero“Public Purchasing-- „Bezirksamt“ Berlin / Neukölln-- Siemens AG Bad Neustadt-- „Kulturkreis“ Siemens Berlin-- „Bayerische Beamten Versicherungen“ MunichLiterature1986-- „Schöpfungslandschaften“, Eulen Verlag , Friburg 1988-- „Faszination des Aquarells“ , arte-factum-Verlag , Nueremberg 2005-- „Indirekte Malerei“ , Palette Verlagsgesellschaft mbH , Koblenz International Participations2006 -- 15.
