Oil on handmade paper
150 x 110 cm
Bernhard Zimmer (* 1957 in Stuttgart) schafft subtil strukturierte Gemälde, die diametral entgegengesetzte Elemente enthalten - Ordnung und Chaos, Abstraktion und Repräsentation, Kühnheit und Subtilität. Seine Kompositionen sind wie Reliefs aufgebaut. Gitter aus durchscheinend gerenderten Flächen und Blöcken aus unleserlichem Text entstehen in spannenden Farbschichten, ihre Oberflächen verschieben sich mit dem Licht und der Position des Betrachters.
„Ohne kompositorische Mitte, ohne eine Hierarchie der Bildteile entfalten sich die Gemälde als Ganzheiten, die deutlich die Spuren komplexer Farbschichten und -überlagerungen, des Farblauf- und abtragens offenlegen.“ (Peter Lodermeyer)

BERNHARD ZIMMER (* 1957 in Stuttgart) presents a fascinating combination of fine art and typographic design. The artist's works, which are displayed on fine, handmade paper, are characterized by a harmonious combination of color, form and lettering.
The artist uses the textuality of the handmade paper to give his works a special depth and feel. The lettering, which often conveys poetic and philosophical content, is not a decorative element but makes a decisive contribution to the meaning of the pictures. They invite the viewer to think about the themes depicted and to reflect on the relationship between image and word.
Overall, BERNHARD ZIMMER's work shows how art can stimulate not only aesthetically but also intellectually. The combination of writing and image on handmade paper is an impressive example of the creative diversity and expressive possibilities in contemporary art.
BERNHARD ZIMMER is represented in national and international collections and exhibitions.
