Biography

Born in 1976, Kleve, Germany
Lives and works in Cologne, Germany

In his work, Lutz Driessen uses the fragmented human body to examine the tension between in and out, shaking up the body to see what happens when inside and outside meet, the way paint meets the surface of a canvas.

His paintings often feature recognizable body parts, forms that allow us a point of entry to the paintings, shapes we can identify as belonging to bodies so that we can more readily go beyond the surface elements. They provide us with an access point to the process of painting – a way into Driessen’s mode of working and the work itself, which is really about how to apply paint, how to create contour in a painting, how to combine colors on a canvas, and what happens when those colors come into contact with each other. Each painting represents a new process, a new attempt to tackle the problem of how to get ideas onto canvas, how to build up the painting and connect all the parts. Bodies are vessels that contain and confine our insides while simultaneously releasing everything we leave behind, from our waste to our offspring. In these paintings, corporeal forms function as vessels for paint and brushstrokes (Based on a text by Diana Perry-Schnelle, curator/writer).

Lutz Driessen studied in Düsseldorf with Albert Oehlen and in Arnhem and has exhibited in Germany and abroad, including in the group show PERSPEKTIVEN DER GEGENWART at Deutsche Bundesbank, Frankfurt am Main, Germany (2012). A recent exhibition at HIDDE VAN SEGGELEN was titled Somerleyton, accompanied by an essay by Diana Perry.
