Markus Oehlen
English Edition
Markus Oehlen (*1956) is one of Germany’s most unmistakable painters. As an anarchic pictorial inventor, since the 1980ies he has revolted against any visual convention and aesthetic convenience. Due to his integration of digital techniques and the contemporary reservoir of images, he creates stunningly hybrid paintings. Collage-like fragments of art history and popular culture interfere with each other. Abstraction and figuration flashingly blend into one another. With the utmost freedom, Oehlen expands the possibilities of today’s painting in his both daring and calculated pictorial experiments.
