from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Henri Deparade (born April 14, 1951 in Halle (Saale) ) is a German painter , graphic artist and university professor.

Life

From 1972 to 1977, Henri Deparade studied at the then College for Industrial Design in Halle, Burg Giebichenstein in the field of painting and graphics, and graduated as a painter and graphic artist. He also received suggestions from representatives of the Leipzig School (e.g. Uwe Pfeifer ). Since 1977 he has participated in numerous national and international exhibitions. He became a member of the Association of Visual Artists and was part of its specialist committees.

He began his university career in 1977/1978 as an assistant to Hannes H. Wagner in the field of painting at the University of Industrial Design in Halle, Burg Giebichenstein. This was followed by an apprenticeship from 1978 to 1980 in the field of graphics, from 1980 to 1982 he worked as an artistic assistant at this art college. From 1983 to 1985, Henri Deparade was a master student at the Halle Art College and the GDR Academy of the Arts with Willi Sitte . Afterwards, together with his wife, the painter Steffi Deparade-Becker , he submitted the “Application for permanent departure from the GDR”, which was followed in 1989 by moving to North Rhine-Westphalia. At the beginning of 1992 he became an artistic assistant at the University of Industrial Design in Halle, Burg Giebichenstein. In the autumn of the same year, he was offered a professorship for artistic fundamentals in the architecture course at the HTW Dresden .

Since 1995 he has been working and living with his own painting and graphics studio in Dresden .

The painter Henri Deparade has an extensive and very different oeuvre in painting and drawing, differentiated into different creative phases. The artistic path of Deparade begins in the still academic beginnings as a veristic figure painter, then as a young painter he emerges as a portraitist with a painting style and a picture conception that is reminiscent of old German painting and the verism of painters such as Otto Dix and Karl Völker or also - based on the period of the 1980s - is based on the "Leipzig School".

For example, Camilla Blechen wrote in the feature section of the FAZ on October 13, 1987 in a review of the last art exhibition in the GDR: As portraitists, Henri Deparade and Neo Rauch, who had peinturistic talents, could soon get more into conversation.

At first he was discussed as a draftsman of urban landscapes; This is how the art historian Wolfgang Hütt wrote in the 1988 catalog “hand drawings of the GDR” for Deparade's charcoal drawings from 1985/86: The metaphor of the glaring light of everyday life applies exactly to what makes Henri Deparade unmistakable with the black of chalk, his way to uncover the fateful in the already again picturesque of an urban landscape abandoned to decay, at the same time to question the inevitability of what it replaces. Like these architecture and street pictures, nudes and portraits attest to his outstanding art of drawing.

After a period of various formal experiments in 1989, 1990 and 1991, Deparade, influenced by his new surroundings in Dresden, came up with a neo-expressive language of forms that made use partly of the human figure and partly of landscape motifs. Since the year 2000, the development of his own figurative formal language has been evident in his oeuvre, mostly free theming of ancient and mythological subjects. Large-format oil paintings are created with their specifically designed, transparent, multi-layered pictorial spaces and superimposed constellations of figures.

In 2015 the art historian Barbara Leicht (Kunstmuseum Erlangen ) remarked in her address at the opening of the exhibition in the gallery LS in Nuremberg : “It is less important to him to tell the myths in detail. ... The myth is its mediator to characterize the goings-on of man ... It is about the fundamentals, it is about human existence in all its tragic abysses and in all its dramatic network of relationships, it is about archaic concepts such as love , Pride, vanity, it's about longing, hate, it's about war and peace in the smallest area. "

Deparade's painting and drawing technique of suggestion is associated with it.
