Description

No description

Lutz Driessen is a German artist born in Kleve in 1976, who currently lives and works in Cologne. His training includes studies at the HK-Arnhem in the Netherlands and the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, where he studied under the renowned artist Albert Oehlen.

Driessen’s work, primarily focused on painting and drawing, engages deeply with the potential of the pictorial space. His style recalibrates modernism with a humanist-cartoonesque touch, often featuring fragmented or contorted human or Animal figures in Romanesque settings and Mannerist postures.

He is fascinated by the tension between sacred and profane imagery, drawing inspiration from historical painters like Matthias Grünewald and combining this with bold colourful gestures one finds in the works of the Chicago Imagists. Driessen’s paintings explore existential and ethical questions, often examining the precarity of the body and the forces it withstands. He employs a reduced vocabulary of simple shapes, strong colors, and emphasized lines, using techniques like palimpsest (layering and partially erasing) to suggest movement and potential within the image.
