Peter Heber
Born in Süderbrarup in 1956, the artist Peter Heber studied in Hamburg with the sculptor Stephan Balkenhol, among others, and was in Gotthard Graubner's class in his last two years of study.
Heber mainly creates abstract works in which he not only imitates the diversity of nature, but also reproduces it by playing with the colors themselves and their materiality. He makes the movements, forces and processes of nature his own and thus manages to visualize the buzzing and humming and thus the sounds of nature almost audibly in works such as Bees and incorporates natural light into his works.
In his series of paintings, he uses the material side of color to transcend the pictorial space, turning his canvases into real space. He underlines this experimental approach by using various techniques and a color spectrum that only appears monochrome at first glance.
Peter Heber lives and works in Hanover.
He has had various solo exhibitions in important institutions such as the Mönchehaus Museum of Modern Art in Goslar and the Sprengel Museum in Hanover.
His works can also be found in large public collections such as the painting collection of the Hamburger Kunsthalle, the Sprengel Museum and the Deutsche Bank Collection.
