STEFAN SEHLER |
||
| WORKS | BIOGRAPHY | ||
|
Born 1958, Nuremberg, Germany, lives and works in Düsseldorf and Berlin The Berlin-based painter, Stefan Sehler, has developed the ability to position himself, in an intriguingly precise juggling act, on the razor's edge between opposing and complementary territories of painting. The orchestration in his work of an evolving dynamic between representation and abstraction has helped to create a respected position for him in Europe, in relation to both the legacy of German painting, and the potential of its future. Sehler often works metallic paint on the back of Plexiglas panels, which may seem to link his thinking to Gerhard Richter's mirror paintings, as indeed might his strong relationship to both figurative and abstract devices. However, if Sehler has been fully conscious of the achievements of painters of the older generation in Germany, whenever his work has been shown alongside that of Richter or Polke, for example, it has been on his own artistic terms. In this respect, Sehler is a pioneer, not a follower, and the risks he has taken in developing new techniques and ideas clearly bear witness to this spirit. |
