Bernd Hahn

Bernd Hahn ranks among the most important artists in Dresden’s contemporary art scene. Clear lines, intensive colour fields and energetic brushwork are among the defining characteristics of his work. Measured intervals, rhythms, ratios and proportions give rise to powerful, monumental canvases, but also to small, sparing drawings of the utmost intensity.
Switching back and forth between free movement on the one hand and an often rigorous, underlying compositional order on the other, Hahn has created an idiom that is unmistakably his own. This catalogue provides an insight into several different bodies of work.
