Life

Herbert Bardenheuer studied painting , art history and philosophy as well as nuclear physics in Düsseldorf, Aachen and Jülich. In the seventies he began as a painter of expressive representational paintings with an ambivalent narrative structure. (1985 Museum Bochum and Neue Galerie, Ludwig Collection, Aachen) Then he turned to the technically generated image, photography, by asking about the conventions in the images of the individual. (1978 "Polaronoia", Museum Bochum; 1979 "How do I look there ?!", Museum Bochum) By overpainting social-public pictures (election posters) he got into the subjectivity of painting. (1981 "Der Herrscher und ich", Gallery of the University of Kassel) Since the eighties he has addressed the reflection of seeing itself. (1990 "Not nothing", Galerie Winkelmann, Düsseldorf; 1995 Karl-Ernst-Osthaus-Museum, Hagen; 1996 "Aachener Raum", Ludwig Forum for International Art , Aachen) His goal was to develop an independent, independent imagery in sequences of the spatial investigation. A decisive impulse in 1994 was the effect of light in Florence. Here the work "Stanza nord-est" was created as a form of dialectical painting. The resulting mystical space is both an analysis and a system of pictorial phenomena. (1994 "a chi tocca", Salone Villa Romana, Firenze; 2002 Museum Lüdenscheid) Bardenheuer followed his own structural models, which centered painting in its interplay of color, space and ideas in time. (1997 "two windows + five images", Hannover boiler house; 1999 "zero importance ↔1", Kunstverein Bielefeld, 2000 "B.code", Gallery S., Aachen, 2005 "Before March," Jesuit Church of St. Alphonsus, Aachen) His 'Periodic table of the senses' is the result of the lived experience in dealing with painting and enables all biographical elements to be combined in a homogeneous form. (2007 "Enkephalos", unfinished)

His large-format paintings and his photographic works have been shown in numerous cities such as Bielefeld, Bochum, Cologne, Düsseldorf, Aachen, Münster, Venice, Florence, Maastricht, Amsterdam, Brussels, Hagen and Bremen.

Bardenheuer was also known for his communicative talent. He also worked as a "curator", for example the Trude and Peter Lacroix collection in the Suermondt Ludwig Museum in 2006.

He lived in Vaals in the Netherlands, in the border triangle between Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium.
