Detailed description
Picture "Origin" (2014/2015)
Beauty in contemporary painting is rarely as clever as it is in Bernd Zimmer's work. He is an avowed traditionalist in his subject "nature", but a revolutionary in execution. Trees, bushes, streams and reflections sound like a romantic understanding of nature, but in his pictures, they turn into stories and reflections on perception. Zimmer's broad, spontaneous brushstrokes, impulsive colours and large sizes characterise his "landscape painting" on the edge of abstraction.

About Bernd Zimmer
Bernd Zimmer (born in 1948 in Planegg near Munich, Germany) transports us into a new reality with his paintings, which he creates using broad brushstrokes and strong colours that flow into one another. Zimmer finds his inspiration in nature, the cosmos or biblical content, yet in the painting process, he has no specific models like photographs or such. "All my paintings are invented situations. They are experiences that express themselves in painting."
Zimmer founded the "Junge Wilden" at the end of the 1970s with his colleagues Rainer Fetting and Helmut Middendorf. Today he is one of the most important contemporary German artists, and his work is successful worldwide.
