Ohlendorff has been working as a freelance visual artist for more than 30 years. His paintings are primarily neorealistic. His picture cycle DEAD ROCK HEADS is a painterly homage to deceased musicians from rock, beat, pop, blues, jazz and punk. Started in 1996, the series now includes 150 portraits (as of November 2019), which u. a. at the Hamburg St. Pauli Museum, at the Burg Herzberg Festival, at the Baltic Blues Fest Eutin, the Popkomm in Berlin, at the world's largest heavy metal festival in Wacken and in the German Rock & Pop Museum in Gronau . Originally, it was an iron law for Ohlendorff to only erect a memorial to the dead. But why not also the living? What can be set in stone posthumously will just as easily find its way onto canvas ante mortem. Since 2013, portraits of rock legends like Slash (Guns ´n´ Roses), Steven Tyler (Aerosmith), Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top), Alice Cooper, Ozzy Osbourne (Black Sabbath), Bob Dylan, Iggy Pop, Neil Young and Of course also from the Rolling Stones (Black & White Style) ... plus national music greats such as Udo Lindenberg, Steffi Stephan (panic orchestra), Jean-Jacques Kravetz (panic orchestra), Wolfgang Niedecken (BAP), Peter Maffay, Campino (Die Toten Hosen), Stefan Stoppok, Marius Müller-Westernhagen and Klaus Voormann (Manfred Man / Plastic Ono Band).
