Detailed description
Picture "Mountain Top" (2023)
For the 45th anniversary of ARTES, wonderful graphic editions in small editions have been created in collaboration with artists; each one represents their distinctive, independent works. Only exclusively at ARTES!
The presented atmospheric woodcut in three colours by Bernd Zimmer focuses on the Bavarian mountain landscape around Bad Tölz as the subject of the pictorial narrative.
For Zimmer, woodcut is the favoured medium alongside painting. It allows for rugged, natural lines and strong flatness, which can further emphasise the artist's style. The work "Kogel" serves as a visual ode to the beauty and grandeur of nature.

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.
