Jürgen Köhler (born February 22, 1954 in Halle (Saale) ) is a German draftsman.

Life

After completing a civil engineering degree in Dresden in 1976, Jürgen Köhler initially worked as an engineer. In 1984 Köhler completed a painting course at the Berlin Art Academy. From 1986 to 1989 he was a master student at the Academy of Arts of the GDR in Berlin. In addition to various grants, his artistic work was recognized in 2004 with the Egmont Schaefer Prize for Drawing.

Köhler's works are in the tradition of a European art of drawing such as was produced by Dürer, Grünewald, Schongauer, but also by artists of the Italian Renaissance. The Japanese wood cutters of the ukiyo-e also exert a special influence on his work.

Matthias Flügge writes in his foreword to a catalog published in 2004: “Köhler's inventions are hybrid through and through. They come from a fantasy through which all the strange images have passed, which are not screaming at us from the media and which remain hidden if we do not want to search for them on the edges, as it were below the thresholds of everyday perception. […] But Köhler's sheets actually belong to the ars oblivionis. They deal with forgetting, with an unstable state of consciousness, in which we understand seeing as a fleeting reflection of something that has long been known, as déjà-vu that slips away in seeing itself before it can be grasped as such.
