More about Till Gerhard
Till Gerhard (born 1971 in Hamburg) is a North Germany-based artist who paints large-scale canvases of rural communities, but with a strange atmosphere. The visual space that the painter creates is beyond the rational and harmonious worlds and conveys a mysterious, unsettling mood. The experimental nature of his work reflects spiritual and mythological interests, including pagan rituals and Shamanism. His figures often turn their backs on the viewers, thereby marking the boundary between interior and exterior worlds. Gerhard’s pictorial world moves between figuration and abstraction. On closer inspection the depicted figures appear distorted or unfocussed, which underlines that his figurative motifs also contain remnants of abstraction.
