Gerhard Marqurad Brigitte Weber the second newcomer this year is Gerhard Marquard to his way of painting: the work on my paintings are drawings and / or paper images. I see the object in front of me, I paint it a prima vista, on the screen directly. I have only a vague idea of a theme I start on multiple screens at the same time to paint. The new start, repainting and comparing shape – and color composition, I approach a painting, I can get just about the way of the experiment.” Burkhard Hance by Bayerischer Rundfunk explained the work as follows: Gerhard Marquard needs to paint to the subject on him to develop his image idea and to develop. About the sketch, he finds many color experiments, to his current image.

Wide, quiet areas with the involvement of the luminous flux determine his conception of the image. Incident light due to spatial light wells that he deliberately uses. In this architecture is of light and color walls He his figures, she can act as on a stage, commands them silence or movement. He finds the subjects for his paintings in the world of competitive sports, in mythology, but also in the real world of the Lech landscape. For Marquard, the painting is a rather intellectually-driven process that makes him travel across many levels of the tasting and experiencing the target to the finished image. On the way there, Marquard often detaches from the objectivity of the subject.

Through constant repainting, he gives his characters an own transparency that spooky linking them to the scene. Its people are silent, communicating only through gestural body signals. His impressive nude studies are meditations, a reflection about what goes on in us, every day in every one of us.” Gerhard Marquard was born in 1963 in the Ostallgau.
