Jürgen Friede (born April 27, 1954 in Veerßen , Uelzen district ) is a German set designer , sculptor and medalist . He lives and works in Hanover and in Wedemark .

Life

Born near Uelzen and raised in Lübeck , Jürgen Friede worked from 1972 to 1975, initially as a set design assistant at the Lübeck City Theaters and Essen , before joining Professor Günther Sellung and Professor Helmut from 1976 to 1982 at what was then the University of Applied Sciences for Art and Design Rogge studied sculpture .

In 1981 Jürgen Friede was represented with three stone sculptures in the joint exhibition Art Prize Young West in the municipal art gallery in Recklinghausen . In 1982 he followed a teaching position at the Hanover University of Applied Sciences for technical drawing that lasted until 1986 . In 1984, Friede's sculptures were shown in the Kunstverein Münster as part of the exhibition series Art Landscape Federal Republic , as well as together with the professors from the Hanover University of Applied Arts in the exhibition Location Art - Location Herrenhausen in the Kunstverein Hannover .

In 1987 Friede received a grant from the state of Lower Saxony . Associated with this was a joint exhibition by the scholarship holders in the Mönchehaus Museum Goslar in Goslar .

From 1990 Jürgen Friede took part in various sculptor symposiums at home and abroad. Stays in Israel, Spain, the USA and North Africa were formative for his artistic work.

Sculpture The Untouchable , 2002, Gabbro Black-Swedish , partly painted, 50 × 23 × 48 cm

Since 1998 he has undertaken several study trips through Morocco and the Western Sahara . Peace on site recorded observations in the social structure of these Maghreb societies as well as impressions in the mountains and deserts hiked there. Love of life, beauty, but also the emptiness of the landscape, misery in the slums / bidonvilles and closeness to death sought and experienced peace here, away from the usual tourist routes. They inspired Peace to make sketches such as “the water seller”, “the blind beggar” or “the man who asks unpleasant questions”, but they also had an effect on his sculptural work.

Were his earlier sculptures conceptually rather between technical / organic and minimalist ( (Minimalism Art) classify) incurred as a result of these trips strictly appearing, greatly reduced figures and torsos ( torso ), usually entitled "Guardian" as well as female heads and busts of hard rocks and marble , partly painted in color. These heads appear African, but formally have no correspondence with African sculpture, but rather represent an idealized ( idealism ) female type.

In 1998, Friede received a scholarship from the Lower Saxony Ministry of Culture to support the development of a studio . In the northern Wedemark he set up a sculpture workshop. In the same year Friede became a founding member and later also artistic director of the Wedemark Art Association .

Several sculptures by Jürgen Friede are in the possession of public and private collections, such as: Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden - Münzkabinett, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin - Münzkabinett, Sparkasse / Hanover, Collection Nikolas Ludwig / Hemmingen, International Neuroscience Institute / Hanover, Kestnermuseum / Hanover.

Jürgen Friede and his work were included in the " Lower Saxony artist database and estate archive ".

Explanations by Wilhelm Beuermann

The painter Wilhelm Beuermann , who was friends with Friede, wrote about the works of Jürgen Friede in 1983 in the magazine Nobilis :

“The fact that forms have a message even without a depicting function is an insight that is as old as cultural history. Sculpture works, from the Celtic Ogham stone to medieval regal insignia to the sculpture of our century, show the magical power of communication, the inexplicable but fascinating language of pure forms.

This is probably the starting point for Jürgen Friede's sculptural work. The first material was wood. In the meantime, a wide variety of materials have been added, stone, polyester, copper and iron. A prerequisite for an art that does not reproduce, but wants to create a new reality out of form and material, to reorganize life in invented objects.

[…] The associations are diverse: locked ship or airplane hulls, buoys, strangely shaped anvils, huge weaver shuttles and split pins, hydraulic floats or batteries.

[...] All forms could have had a long-forgotten function or a future one. Well thought out, geometrically in an imaginative way, they leave the viewer alone with the assignment. The riddle remains unsolved and it should be [...]. "
