Until 2000, Daniel Richter painted exclusively abstract . In his early works he primarily deals with purely formal problems in painting . In the context of her own history, he regards it as the most inert medium of all (see quote) and explores its possibilities in his pictures. From 2000 figurative moments creep into his pictures ( Fool on a hill , 1999), which finally become completely narrative, figurative motifs. The psychologically intellectual content can sometimes be interpreted autobiographically , but can be read in a broader sense as a mirror of a subjectively perceived state of the world and treat political issues.

Richter's pictures are related to documentary photography , art history and current affairs. They are usually very colorful, large in size and covered with streaks and incrustations. When asked about this, he said in an interview:

“That has somehow become independent. In the beginning there was this blotchy quality, you know that from films, for example, when they melt through. Actually, it's always the paranoid looks: infrared! Drugs! Apparitions! High-tech night vision devices, people come from the dark into the light, this stuff. The origin were the looks that everyone knows, but which do not appear in painting and which I have always perceived as unsettling. It's a level where you know there's some threat, some secret, some revelation. "
