Sigurd Wendland
Sigurd Wendland's paintings thrive because of their liveliness and radiate powerful presence. With his expressive and colour-intensive imagery, the German painter and graphic artist interprets many classical genres of painting in his very own way. Portraits, nudes and social scenes are as much a part of his portfolio as landscapes and animal paintings. Through his art, he often expresses himself in a socially critical and provocative manner but he is also a master of quiet and sensitive tones.
Wendland, born in 1949, studied at the Cologne Academy of Fine and Applied Arts and the Berlin University of the Arts and was a master-class student of Fred Thieler. Since the early 1980s, he has exhibited his works in museums and galleries throughout Europe. At the same time, he organises events for plein-air painting and curates exhibitions. Sigurd Wendland lives and works in Berlin and Templin-Groß Dölln in Brandenburg.
