life and work
After graduating from high school, Franz Peters studied communication sciences. Since 1986 he has been working as a freelance artist.
The artistic work in which u. a. the relationship between image and text plays a dominant role, has been highlighted through solo and group exhibitions (including in Bonn, Cologne, Frechen, Hamburg, Pulheim, Trier) and book illustrations ( Max Dreyer , Axel Kutsch , Arthur Silbergleit , Martin A. Völker, etc.) known beyond the Rhineland.
Words and images complement each other in Franz Peters' artistic work, and in this way, alongside primarily monochrome and diachromic images, poems are created in poetry anthologies such as The Big Book of Little Poems. German-language short poetry of the present (1998), Zeit.Wort. German poetry of the present (2003), trace security. Justice and crime poems (2005) and Versnetze. The big book of new German poetry (2008) were published.
In 1993 he was awarded the SPD Erftkreis (now Rhein-Erft-Kreis ) cultural sponsorship award.
In 2010, dreizwanzig verlag (Cologne) published the illustrated book of poems Beside the Paths No Walking .
The Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger wrote in 2002: Franz Peters does not make it easy for his audience, neither with his poetry nor with his pictures. Both are often gloomy, but of great aesthetic appeal. But the artist may not know anything about an exclusively negative worldview. And indeed there is often a flash of irony, a humor that reconciles .
Franz Peters lives in Olef in the Eifel National Park .
