biography

Hans-Jürgen Schlieker
Hans-Jürgen Schlieker

Schlieker was born in Schöningen in the Pyritz district in Western Pomerania in 1924 . After high school he was a student in a commercial art studio. Three years as a soldier followed. Experiences which were reflected in the coloring of the late 1950s and which were ultimately processed in a group of works that gain new relevance through reading the poems of Charles Baudelaire ( Les Fleurs du Mal ).

After a stopover in an artists' home in Mecklenburg, Schlieker studied with Erich Hartmann at the Hamburg Art School . When he finished in 1951, he married Gisela Chrambach and moved to Bochum in the Ruhr area . He worked as a freelance artist, and some economically difficult years followed - as with many artist existences.

In 1952 the only daughter Claudia was born. Things slowly began to improve: As a guest on the Deutsche Orientlinie , Schlieker made a major Mediterranean voyage in 1954 and came to Spain, Algeria, Tunisia, Greece and Turkey. That shaped him, created wanderlust. In 1957/58, after a large order, he drove with the whole family to a wide, pristine bay in Spain, to the village of Sant Pol in the north of the Mediterranean coast.

Two art prizes (1958 the “Jungwestfalen” prize of the Westphalian Art Association , Münster, and the 1959 prize for a picture in the “Painters See Stuttgart” competition) testify to the current status of his work at the time.

The family took their toll: Schlieker taught at a high school in Bochum in the years that followed and then, in 1968, he began to set up the visual arts department at the Music Center of the Ruhr University in Bochum . He was in charge of the entire department and countless students came to appreciate his teaching qualities. As a full member of the German Association of Artists , Schlieker took part in a total of eight annual DKB exhibitions between 1980 and 1991.

In 1989, when he finished teaching, he received the Order of Merit of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia (together with KO Götz , Adolf Luther , Bernard Schultze, Hann Trier and Günther Uecker ) for his work .

He was drawn to the university three more times: in 1994, 1996 and 1997 he introduced students to the art of etching in a seminar at the Vienna Art Academy .

Hans-Jürgen Schlieker died on March 12, 2004 after a serious illness.

Schlieker House

The Schlieker house in Bochum-Querenburg serves as a documentation center for the life and work of the artist during the last five and a half decades of his life since its opening in March of 2005. In addition to the studio, the other rooms also house personal items from this period as well as exhibits. Alternately, exhibitions are put together according to themes and artistic techniques.

reception

Each of Schlieker's pictures contains a sum of existential experiences, fears, doubts, hopes, longings. In its powerful imagery, it is an affirmation of being and a freedom beyond all civilizational constraints. “My pictures are my question marks,” Schlieker once said. Perhaps it is that search for the primordial ground of which Klee said, “where the central organ of all temporal and spatial movement, it is now called the heart or brain of creation, initiates all functions, who would not want to live there as an artist? In the bosom of nature, in the primal ground of creation, where the secret key to everything is kept. "
