Stephan Geisler
Stephan Geisler lives and works in Bochum, Germany. He studied graphic design, visual communication, and illustration at Münster University of Applied Sciences under Professor Rolf Escher. The artist's oeuvre combines various working methods and techniques of acrylic, collage, and oil pastels on canvas.
The main subject of the depictions are solitary figures; they always seem to be looking at the viewer with a cool gaze. However, the canvases are not only visual odes to animals, but at the same time, discourses on painting and the artistic use of colour and form.
"During the painting process, you are extremely connected with yourself, your ideas, thoughts and visions. I have found the best moments I have ever had in painting," the artist describes.
