Life

After graduating from high school, Ingolf Timpner studied philosophy and Romance studies at the Heinrich Heine University in Düsseldorf and studied philosophy and art history at the Düsseldorf Art Academy . As a visual artist he was self-taught. From 1989 to 1991 he lived in Paris, where he made contact with the art scene. Since 1988 he has participated in national and international exhibitions. He lived and worked in Düsseldorf.

He worked with Rolleiflex cameras from the 1950s and 60s. A formal characteristic of his pictures is the development of the silver gelatine prints with a natural sponge, which makes the chemical process of photography visible and makes each hand print unique. In 1995 he colored the first b / w prints. Since 2007 the hand coloring of individual works has systematically found its way into his work. These analogue hand-colored photo works were created as pigment prints after scanning.

"The entire complex of Ingolf Timpner's works shows that photography is able to take up, meet and even replace the demands of painting."

“ His photographic works combine staging and quotations. "
