painting
In his eclectic early work, echoes of surrealism , abstract expressionism , action painting and tachism can be recognized. From 1983 he dealt with landscape painting and after a phase of almost monochrome non-representational pictures that are reminiscent of the work of Gotthard Graubner , he turned back to representational painting. In 1998 he painted four large-format oil paintings on the theme of four seasons for the Johanniter Hospital in Fläming in Treuenbrietzen .
Plastic work
Since 1986, he formed after his drawings on the subject of architectural fantasies sculptures in clay and plaster , of which 1988 in the fine art foundry Hermann Noack in bronze cast was. It served as a model for an accessible, unfinished and temporary architectural sculpture The eighth day on the Obermarkt in Görlitz (1996) as well as for several casts in plaster of paris , acrystal and zellan . He also created eight colored clay reliefs on the subject of the Beatitudes of the Sermon on the Mount for the senior citizens' home next to the Christ Church in Görlitz (1997) and the five-part series West Coast , inspired by the West Coast of New Zealand . In 2008 three architectural sculptures with the title Raum (The Whole City) were cast in bronze.
