Ernst Matzke

Ernst Matzke (* 1938 in Hamburg ) is a German painter and graphic artist.

Life

The son of a printing house owner learned the techniques of hot metal and high pressure . This was followed by studying commercial graphics and free graphics at the Alsterdamm art school in Hamburg. He studied painting and illustration with Max Hermann Mahlmann and Marianne Weingärtner , lecturers at the University of Applied Sciences in Hamburg. He worked as an art director and creative director of GWA - advertising agency , 18 years in the top ten of the German advertising agencies counted. In 1981 he had his most comprehensive solo exhibition with oil paintings , watercolor and tempera painting in the Weserburg Bremen (today's seat of the Weserburg Museum of Modern Art ) with 146 works . Since 1992 he has devoted himself to "digital graphics". His digital painting includes hand-made motifs that are individually processed on the screen and produced in small, limited editions as pigment color prints.

Matzke's works show stylistically landscape, figurative and abstract designs. Early pictures are motifs of the destroyed Hamburg of the post-war period, later topics retain the basic constructive character that characterizes his work.

Since 2011, more and more geometric-constructive , abstract-non-representational compositions have been created, these predominantly in square format, and since 2013 also acrylic works and miniature paintings in acrylic or mixed media.

His works have been available on the Internet since 2000, and again since 2012 as part of national and international exhibitions.

Ernst Matzke lives in Bremen .
